  1. So.... I'm a little bit screwed right now... im stuck in a small town in Saskatchewan, Canada - shop I got towed to asked, "what kind of car is that!?" I was driving along on the highway - everything seemed fine... might have been running a tad hotter than usual, but I was going up and down hills so I didnt think much of it... I was cruising along at 100km/hr when I hear a "clanging" noise... it sounded like a bolt was rattling around in the engine - metal on metal type deal.... I drove for a few sec with the sound because at first I didnt think it was the car - I didnt lose any power.. and there were no new vibrations associated with the clanging... when I pulled over, what I could notice was; it's leaking a bit more oil than usual... and theres some blueish smoke when I rev. It revs fine despite sounding like theres a bolt ratteling around inside.... As far as I can tell... the noise seems to be coming from the left side of the engine (opposite to the turbo) nearish the timing belt area.. My options are pretty limited right now... but REALLY hoping someone here might have some insight.... recently replaced: injector pump turbo intake gasket timing belt valve cover gasket fuel lines to injectors.. its going to cost me an arm and a leg to get it towed to the nearest specialist... reallllly hoping someone might have some insight!!!
