engine rattle/clanking sound...
i was driving a little bit hard yesterday on the way to a call and noticed that the engine on the way back started to get a clanking/rattle sound to it.. my change oil light is on and i havent changed it yet but did notice that the engine was about a qt low on oil so i added a qt.. but the funny thing about the rattle/clanking sound is that i dont hear it til the engine gets up to about 2500rpm.. so i dont think it could be the lifters nor cam but could it possibly be piston slap or something worse? the car runs great still it just has that sound which i dont really like to hear..i took off the coil pack today and noticed that there was oil on top of the head around the spark plugs.. i couldnt figure out where the oil is coming from but there iseems to be a tad bit of oil around teh camshaft housing seals...but anyways im just seeing if anyone else may possibly know what this could possibly be.. any help would be greatful thanks..

i had the same problem my engine did the same thing but no oil light came on the noise just got worse and worse. at first i though it was my valves also but when i had the dealership look in to it, it was a bearing cam #3 i think.
i just had the engine replaced after that cuz it was cheaper |
