Ok here is the situation:
I finally got my car running again and decided to change the oil. I go to start it and noticed a slight clanking noise in the bottom end. I turned the car off and topped the oil off, and restarted. I started to notice that the clanking noise only seems to happen at idle, or I can not hear it above those rpm's or while driving.
I decided to drain the oil to look for anything wrong and refilled with Valvoline MaxLife and Lucas Oil stabilizer, about 20%. I noticed that the clanking went down a bit, but was still there. If the engine warms up it is there sometimes and other times it is not.
I have noticed a small puddle of antifreeze on the ground under where the trans connects with the engine. It has only done this once, and thats about it. I have not noticed a lose of antifreeze though.
Any ideas?
