i ran into a srt10 truck on the way to school to day. to make a long story short i wasent paying attention at hit around 6.2k in the car after that there is a weird clinking noise under the car so i jacked it up on one side and started it up... the noise is comming from right behind the oil pan where the oil drips outs... it is silver in color and has a little bend to it and up in there is where the noise is comming from. The clinking doesnt have a pattern to it and happens spontaniously. What could this be? thank you

 

So let me get this straight...

You ran into a truck as in you got in an accident?

"6.2k" is 6200 RPM or 6.2 KPH?

"The noise is coming from right behind the oil pan where the oil drips outs” You are speaking of the drain plug?


If the car is damaged you might check the fans behind the radiator if they are obstructed and they kick on you will get a clicking noise.

Sorry for my ignorance

 

i think he might mean he raced an srt10

 

Well, silver oil is never a good sign....

 

That makes more sense

nether is a dent on the side of the oil pan...

 

when i said ran i ment race and i took the aluminum shield off and it was a chunck of metal about 3 inches long and flat right where the flywheel is but the cars running fine again. Im taking it to the tranny shop tomorro to see whats up

 

did you atleast win?

 

Thats not good...

 

6200 is nothing, my car revs to 6700 or so daily...

 

if it's a 6 speed, that sounds like one of the fingers off the pressure plate breaking loose.

my bad-just saw it's an automatic

 

maybe break a tranny mount?

 

Take a picture of it and post it up so we can give you a better answer.
