Gurgling Noise On Cold Start and Low RPM - adrienne224

Basically what happens is the following:
1) When I start the car in the morning or after it has completely cooled down it starts normally, no noise or anything unusual. When I put the gear on R there is this grumbling noise I hear, or when I put it on D and turn the wheel to get it out of the parking spot I also hear that noise.
2) Once the car is warm I stop hearing this noise, but I sometimes do hear it when turning the wheel while driving, but much lower than before.

Any ideas as to what may be the cause? Thanks.

All we know about your car is that it's an automatic. Can you tell us a bit more?

As said...more info needed really.

As a first port of call, I'd check your Automatic Transmission Fluid level/condition and your Power steering fluid level.

Moved to Technical.

We try to be helpful on here but you make it difficult for us by withholding so much information. Why didn't you tell us what sort of car it is and in particular whether the engine is petrol or diesel?
