Really strange noise ??

Hi i moved my LCR onto my drive today to do some bits under the bonnet, after pulling up i turned the engine off opened the bonnet and there was a stranhe sound of running fluid as if something was leaking out !! this continued for about 2 mins then just stopped, i cant see anything under the car so nothing has poured out. Spoke to a mate of mine who said it could be something to do with the coolant. The car seemed to drive fine but it worried me a bit

Just to add it was a strong flow and sounded like alot of fluid whatever it was

could it be the secondary water pump its runs for abit after the cars turned off to stop heat spots ( thats how i understand it anyway)

The car had not moved all day mate and i only turned it over for 2 mins, so would this cause the pump to function ?

Yes, it always does it regardless of how long the car is run for. It's not thermostatically controlled
