Exclamation new fit question!!

Okay, so i have had my new Honda Fit Sport for approx. 2 weeks now. I can;t help but notice that almost every time i turn it off i hear a dripping/ glurping noise in the engine. It only makes it 1-3 times n then the car is silent. Is this normal? is it the oil hitting the pan? it's freaking me out :/
THANK YOU

It's probably the gas under your ass- literally. It's more pronounced when the tank is fuller. The gas will slosh around a little in the tank and you hear it when you come to a stop and turn off the car. Normal, albeit a bit gasy.

Shockwave is right. I've noticed the gas in the tank making that sound also.

Yep, most cars the fuel tank is under/behind the rear seats, so you will never hear it. In these it is right under the front seats, so you can hear it sloshing.

My fit is replacing my old Civic which had a problem every month and contstantly had me waiting for a tow truck on the side of the road, soooo
I am kind of traumatized with car problems... i'm like a car hypochondriac.

Heh, my fit replaced a 97 Civic (that was not well cared for by the previous owner) and the civic replaces a 99 Outback. I was so use to having to do something every two weeks or so that I actually find a project to do on the fit every couple of weeks, just because it is weird not to be doing something to the car.
