Ticking????

[vettekiller]

I was cruising home on the freeway and i decided to mess around on so i gave it a little gas and i could hear my turbo winding, and i thought i turned by psi down to 8 but when i floored it again it went up to 16psi
so i dropped it into 3rd and floored it and it went to 8 or 9psi so i wasnt worried anymore but everytime i would floor it in 4th or 5th gear it would go past 13psi so i was getting a little worried so finally i got off my ramp and could hear a ticking noise so i drove nice and slow the rest of the way home, when i got home i immediatley popped my hood and oil was splashed all over my vavle cover and the tick was getting louder, so what do you guys think happend? did i blow a vavle? is it my lifters? can somebody please help because i just got enouph money for exhaust and this just had to happen, so hopfully it wont be to expensive to fix, if i even have to fix it at all.

The oil is prob from your dipstick (learn from experience)...under higher boost the stock ones are crappy and tend to leak...the ticking is from the valvetrain or an exhaust leak, check for carbon residue around the head/block near the exhaust manifold

Its probably a loss of oil, making the valvetrin a little noisy thats all...did you fill it back up?

Im pretty sure its not from my dipstick because i had that problem before and i am pretty sure i fixed that, but i was thinkin it came from the oil cap.


It might be a loss of oil because i loose oil a lot but i usually fill it up right away. Lately i havent been loosing oil too much, but i just filled it up about two days ago and i put some prolong engine treatment in, and the ticking spopped for about mmmmm.......10 to 15 min, i was releaved but then it started ticking again.
