yesterday i noticed my car sounded funny when i started it.( overnight to next morning) i was in a rush to work and didn't think about it. today i started it and it sounded horrible, like a swirling. gurgling noise, like water boiling. but the sound is coming from the front and left side of the motor, by the cams. well i had to ignore at took a 15 minute drive to work, it quieted down(or my exhaust drowned it out), after work it was quiet when it started. got home it was loud again. 3 hours later i go out with my friend me stop at the pool hall, and it was really loud. i was like wtf, pop the hood and listened, couldn't pin point it. so 2 hours later im at dennys leaving i start it up and it loud, but also sounds different, i think the pulley or belts are making a weird noise( can't really describe) get home and same noises going on, what do you guys think?

sounds like an exhaust leak. check around the exhaust manifold to head gasket and at any other exhaust connections around the motor.
