[greyspyder117]

OK this is what happen to me today. I was on the parkway driving fine pulled off the ramp and happen to look down to see my oil light on. Only now do i see a lil bit of smoke from my car so i pull right over and find out my oil filter came loose. There was maybe a whole other qt of oil that came out as i was putting the filter tight again so there was some oil in there. Now i called dad and he brought me oil cause i didn't want to run it so low... I get back to my house and on my street i stall out when i came up to the stop sign. Right before i stalled i could of swore i seen the oil light and no other light come on for a second if that. Anyway i hear what i would call a rapping sound coming from what sounds/looks like underneith the timing cover or around there what did i break today?

Unfortunately you don't need to run out of oil to cause damage when your filter comes loose. The filter is filled with pressurized oil, so by springing a leak there, you loose oil pressure to your whole engine. While the light was on, you had pretty much NO oil pressure. On the bright side, you may have just squeezed all the oil out of some of your lifters, but without actually hearing the noise, I can't really tell you.
