Engine oil doesn't "swish". It's too viscous. Water and petrol will. As the fuel tank is designed not to have the fuel surging around, I doubt it is that. Otherwise we would all hear it every time the tank started to run low. There is no surface large enough in the cooling system to let the coolant "swish" so I would check the doors. I had a Cavalier where water collected in the driver's door. It didn't "swish", but when I checked and cleared the drain slots, at a routine check over, about a gallon of water drained out!

If the head gasket was leaking your radiator level would be dropping and / or oil level rising and getting frothy and creamy.

The drainage holes in doors now are pretty Damn
 big and are at each end and centre, so even if on blocked (unlikely) as the car travels the others would drain the water away.

Some people will only consider you an expert if they agree with your point of view or advice,  when you give them advice they don't like they consider you an idiot
