Later in the day the sound went away, now I'm more suspicious than ever. Does anyone know of a water collection point under the hood? There was no evidence of water leaking from beneath the car. Has anyone experienced a similar situation? Any ideas and help will be greatly appreciated. Yes it did rain the night before and my car has been through many down pours without incident.
Thanks

Not to worry. Many W124 vehicles of the same vintage as your 300CE make the same gurgling, sloshing sound. My 1989 30TE and my 1990 300CE both make the same sound. My previous 1991 300CE also made the same sound.
I believe that MB came out with an official fix for the "problem" -- there is a bulletin someplace regarding this problem. I believe that this issue is unique to the W124. I have never bothered to fix it and I have never had any problems.
Good luck....
