I don't know about the thumping sound, but if your oil has been in there
since march-I think you need an oil change. I try to change mine every 3
months or 2000 miles (minimum). As for loose sounds...how does the sound
react when you rev the engine?

took the engine cover off, nothing looks out of the
ordinary. no oil mess except for around the cap and i
checked the oil and there's enough in there but it's
kind of dirty. i just had a thorough oil change in
march. i don't drive it every single day, mainly on
the weekends and even then i barely take her out, so i
don't think it's due for an oil change just yet.

it starts, but it sounds rough and something sounds
loose. it's making a kind of thumping noise?? i can't
describe it but to me it sounds like something is
loose.
