I just bought the car last year and it's in great shape. All the sudden this noise. If I pull the cover what should I look for? It also has headers but I don't think it's coming from there. Oil is full.

If you have any flooring questions I'll be happy to trade...
Nuthin personal but if you really are THAT mechanically challenged ya might want to take it to a shop.
