I have a 1998 olds cutlass and it is leaking cooling and have a bad ticking sound what do you think I should do.
Exhaust manifold gasket leaking
that's just the sound of the steel bits cooling down
The most likely cause of a ticking sound in a motor is a bad timing belt. A valve out of time can also cause a ticking sound.
It is just a guess when I am not able to hear the particular sound. If it is somewhat of a metalic tubing sound it could just be the exhaust tubing cooling down.
the ticking is the blinkers
Get your brakes tested. I do not know what a ticking sound means.
sounds like you have a loose rocker arm NEW ANSWER: A exhaust manifold gasket leaking will sound like a lifter also.
If the ticking sounds like a "normal" ticking, it is probably the fuel injectors.
turn your blinker of
Sometimes a ticking sound is a valve lifter. The faster you go the faster the ticking will be. Make sure first it is not something stuck in a tire or something on the fan belt.
That slight ticking sound is probably the injectors firing which is normal.
A ticking or clicking sound is probably lifter noise, the valves need adjusting
