Car is running rough, not overheating. but when I turn the car off there is a loud bubbling noise coming from the right front of the car. I believe it’s coming from the overflow, sounds like boiling water.

Hi,

Here is a guide that walks through the common causes of these types of noises:

If these do not sound like your issue then it could be air in the cooling system. When the engine cools off the air pocket expands and causes the coolant to go back into the coolant bottle.

Have you just had the cooling system serviced or any work on the cooling system at all?
