Ok guys, here we go. Car has 1500 miles on it. It had been sitting for about 3 weeks, started it and drove to the gym (35 minute drive).
was cold (60 degrees) so I took it easy l, as I always do, until the oil gets to 190 degrees
car drove fine. After the gym, I went to Home Depot, a 10 minute drive, car drove fine. From Home Depot I went across the highway to another store (5 minute drive). When I got there I left the car running and went Inside. I was inside for about 10 minutes. I came out and the car was making this noise.
sounds like it was coming from the driver side, towards the lower portion of the engine bay.
i didnt smell anything weird, the oil pressure was normal at idle (33-35 PSI) the heat gauge was normal.
I shut it off, restarted it and the noise was gone. left the store and listened for weird noises, nothing. Car drove fine, I got on it hard on the way home, drove just fine.
I am baffled, hoping someone on here has come across a similar scenario and can shed some light on this.
oil level as dropped since I changed the oil at 500 miles, it went from full on the dipstick to just a little below half in 1000 miles. i wasnāt concerned about it until now.
I really donāt want to bring it to the dealership unless I absolutely have to.
thank you for your input fellers.
does this sound like a bad oil pump ? That is my concern, I find it hard to believe that one of the belts is making this noise.
