It's normal.
It's not coming from the engine but the area in front if it.
There's several old threads on this but I can't link you cause I'm on my phone.

Search...

Edit... Links added below. Just took a little time from my phone.

I agree, a tad bit embarrassing. A breezed through a couple other threads but didn't come across exactly why the G is so prone to doing this. My past cars never had this problem and were cheaper cars than this. Aeson, have any ideas?
