Ok so i started my car yesterday and it was clicking...like valves clicking i checked the oil and it was about a quart low, now mind you i just bought the car and the oil was changed the dayi picked it up...so i lost about a quart in just over 200 miles! It seems like a cause for concern, any body else have this problem with theirs. Also when the car is running it just seems loud like a clicking noise even after i added the oil and there is a hissing noise which seems to be comming from the back of the engine almost like a vacuum leak...any ideas on that? And for the final question lol....when im cruising at any speed staying a constant speed it seems the engine drags for a second then comes back drags then comes back like its loosing some power than gaining it again anyone else have this condition? Thanks in advance for the responses.

 

Sometimes techs just fill up the car to the top dot on the stick and space letting the car idle and checking the level again. what happens is once you start the car the oil level goes down because the filter needs to be filled. that would be the best case for you though. Check for leaks around the valve covers and take a peak over the back of the engine by the turbos and cats...
