The number one cause is a failed fuel pressure regulator. It is on the fuel injector rail and held on by three bolts. Other causes could be stuck fuel injectors and/or a failed oxygen sensor but the FPR is the number one reason.

What causes rods to knock in a motor?

Usually worn out rod bearings. This can be caused by wear or repeated pinging. Usually, if there is knocking in the engine, you are not getting adequate oil to the engine. What is happening is that there is no oil to lubricate the rods and pistons as they are moving inside the head and so it is causing the knocking noise. If you have filled you oil and still hear the knocking, the main filter in the oil pan could be clogged. This happened to me. You do not want it to go on too long because you will blow your engine.

Engine oil over fill where will it leak?

If you have over filled your engine oil, it will not "leak" unless you have completely filled the engine with oil and is pouring out where you put it in. However overfilling even as much as little as 1 quart can lead to catostophic engine damage as the crankshaft will spin into the oil in the pan causing it to foam and cause oil circulation problems throughout the engine leading to overheating and engine siezing.
