Basic question about h70

Ok bit of a basic question regarding Corsair hybrid cooler h70, dripping sound. After hearing a sort of snagging sound from the PC fans I opened my PC for a check and a clean, found the CPU fan causing the sound and it seemed the dirtiest so I unscrewed the fans and radiator and cleaned it.

99% certain I put the fans back on the correct and the temps seem correct ie normal/max 30-35c (according to AI Suite) Without stress testing.

My main point is now its all back to normal there seems to be an excessive liquid sound like dripping. (no I haven't opened it up but I guess the temps change or malfunction would indicate a leakage)

Bit of a strange question but this is my first hybrid cooling and its slightly strange hearing liquid inside a PC, though I am use to hearing that sound from a radiator so Im guessing its normal? But did I do anything wrong in cleaning ie rotating the hybrid cooler.

Thanks if you read this its a bit babbly*

i can hear liquid slushing about when i start pc i have h70 but i get it when i boot up and after few sec sound disappears(or i just cant hear it anymore over my fans).

air usually builds up at the top of these, kinda like bleeding a radiator on a car, if you have moved the rad you would have moved the air inside too thus it needs to go around again to put the air back into possition again, i get it on my antec kuhler 620 when i lay my case on its side to change a few things when putting back upright again you hear the air go through the pump and a trickling/fizzing sound till its settled once again

only worry if you actually see water lol
