Ok...

I was driving to school and i heard a strang tapping noise comming from the engine so i quickly parked it and shut it off... There is a large hose on the right side of the engine going from the head to the block (near the injectors) anyways that whole area is covered in oil:cry: ....

is that a common thing? Is it replaceable? what sould i do??????

That is a pretty major oil line... :3d_frown:

It is replacable but...
Just hope you didnt ruin the engine by running it dry of oil.

Is your oil still reading on the dipstick?

Yea... But it's a little lower

maybe you turned it off quick enough. If you want more room to replace it you can take off your alternator. You also will want to get new clamps

If it was a light or higher pitched tapping or clicking it could have been the cams running dry.

Is the alternator easly removed??

First off the injectors are on the left side of the engine. Second the hose being referred to is not an "oil line". It is the crankcase vent.

Its not hard, there is one big bolt, and there is one small bolt that ajust the tension of the belt that will also need to be removed. pretty simple

I cranked her over today and i heard a seeping noise coming from the side of my engine (next to the feul injectors...) :cry:

Seeping noise?

If your oil was still on the dispstick you probally just ended up running your cams dry. Unless you were on a hill I think your crank should be fine. Take your valve covers off and check to see if theres any damage, and put some fresh oil on the cams themselves.

Thank your lucky stars that you didn't here rod knock. I bet you heard the lifters or the cams They would dry first. You may have just gotten real lucky.
