Sorry to give you bad news .... if your getting gurgling behind the dashboard, I think your heater matrix is leaking. Its probably leaking whilst the engine is hot but water circulation keeps the matrix full. When the engine is cold, stood overnight, water leaks out onto the carpet. When starting and reving the engine, the circulation pumps water into the matrix void - hence the gurgling rush of water Check for damp patches on the carpet to each side of heater unit.
Bleeding the system has no tricks. Just fill and run the engine to normal temp. When cool top up.
