Sounds like water/liquid is running/dripping behind my dash
So I've noticed that after I start the Jeep up, if the radio and air/heat are off, I can hear what sounds like water (or fluid) running or dripping from somewhere behind the dash area. There is nothing wet or dripping inside or outside. Am I just hearing coolant flowing or something? It's very strange, but pretty noticeable when the cabin is quiet. 2014 JKU with 170 miles...

If you do a search you will find that the noise is due to trapped air in the cooling system. Your system needs to be burped of air.
Take the Jeep back to the dealer and have them do it for you.
Too new for you to be doing much more than adding gas......

It's not something that is going to cause a problem, is it? AKA can it wait for a few weeks until I have time to get it in to the dealer?
Thanks!

With a hot engine, note the level in your coolant reservoir. If/when it burps, you might need a bit of distilled water or coolant to remain above the minimum level. See your manual for info on the reservoir.
