Sounds like you need to check the rocker clearance. Valve adjustment. Hopefully there is nothing broken. You will have to remove the cover to inspect. Do it asap.
Oil drain plug is located at the back of the engine, right side, ( foot brake side ) towards the bottom of the engine.
Look at the back of the engine where the slave is for the clutch. The bleeder is right there. Just follow the hyd. line on the right side.
There is a plug on the engine right beside the oil filter. This will drain the engine and rad. Or, just remove the lower rad. hose at the thermostat.
Under oil filter, a little to the right. 17M size head on bolt. Look under radiator.
right next to the thermometer
The water pump is located on the front of the engine down low. Right behind the front fender and next to the oil filter
right hand side take off the covers about mid engine one will find a brass or heavy aluminum dial.
first off is the clacking noise when in park as well? if it is it may be a valve tap. you can research a valve tap it is common and usually not a huge problem right away.
Yes, it can. The terrible clacking when turning right in my LeSabre for the past two days was driving me crazy and internet research wasn't much help. Today the power steering failed. If replacing the pump doesn't fix it, I'll post again.
You have a rod nocking ,you could have a cv joint going out mine took about 1000 miles before it went
The filler cap on the 1200's is on the right side, ( foot brake side ) right near the dip stick.
On the right side there is a chcek glass it is hard to see
