Water sound when brakes applied?

This is weird. When i brake, i can hear water sound moving around from the passenger side. (sounds simillar when you shake a bottle of water)
I have checked my floor mat and they are not wet at all.

Does anyone know where the water might be stuck ?
Is it possible my sunroof exit hole is plugged?

Appreciate your help

Are you sure it is not just warped rotors making a sound?

try checking behind the speaker in the kick panel. It may pool in there.

i remember seeing few drops of wwater over there last year. Do you know how the water can go through to that space?

Should water go through that or no ?

Same problem as I had last year. Your rocker panel drain holes are plugged, just poke them out with a little piece of wire. The drains on the sunroof drain to inside the rocker panels and fill them up. Otherwise it the drains in the bottom of the door, and your door is starting to fill up.

hope they don't call the strata police on you. I know in my building people don't usually care unless something is leaking. I am doing my headgasket right now and I thankfully have the use of my inlaws shop. Hoping to have it done tonight.

When cleaning out drain holes, it's better to use cord from a weed wacker. Stiff wire willl scratch the paint and cause rust.

Sound more to me like it is a blown head gasket or probably a water flowing into your heater core.
