Hey all.. so I've had my E30 for almost a month now... and last night while driving I noticed a knocking sound getting loud and louder...so I pulled over and shut off the car, checked the oil and it seemed rather low. I put 1 quart of oil i had in the car from my 335i to temporarily remedy the low oil situation.
The knocking is still there and I can't identify any sign of an oil leak. No oil on driveway either.
Today I moved the car and the knocking sound seems to only happen when the car is in gear and moving. When I rev the engine in neutral there is no knocking sound. No sound as the car is idling either. Inside the car, the sound seems to be coming from the tranny area under the gearbox. I'm still too new at the E30 game to properly identify possible gremlins associated with the E30's so I was wondering if anyone had a possible explanation, help, tips...answers? :)
Thanks in advance to everyone!
