My 2009 Toyota Corolla S upon starting, after sitting overnite has started to make a steam sound as if a head gasket is leaking (a Whoosh sound). This sound is only momentary and it does not occur any other time during the day, but has occurred the last 3 mornings. Got any idea what this is and what is causing it??

It would depend on where the noise is coming from. It could be from the serpentine belts so you need to verify where the source is to be able to understand what could be causing it.
