Boiling sounds when turned off

When I turn off my 98, I hear a boiling sound. I don't know if it is the oil or if it's the radiator. You'd think you could tell. I've never heard this with any other car I have driven. Is it normal or should I have it adressed? Hanks for helping out.
 
When I shut down, I can hear the oil draining back into the pan. If it isn't leaking fluid, you probably don't have a problem.
 
There was an issue that was specific to 98 models only. When you shut it down, there is a gurgling sound that is actually coming from the gas tank.

It isn't a real issue, but there was a TSB that addressed the problem. I had the gurgling on my old 98 XJ, but it never bothered me.
 
Well, while it very well could be the radiator, I thought I would point out the gas tank thing since the OP does have a 98.
