Hello,
After Idling for a few minutes (around 40 degrees F) standing outside of vehicle I noticed a "water trickling from a faucet" type sound that was the loudest when I put my ear near the rear wheel wells. I have never heard this on any vehicle. This is an Eddie Bauer edition. Is this something to be concerned about? I can only assume it's something in the fuel line? Help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Do you smell any gas? Do you hear it on both sides in the rear?

Let me know.
