Or if no oil comes out, ditto...

If the oil looks OK put new oil in and see if you got the rattles.

Also, get the car up on ramps and go over the underside of the car looking for loose nuts and bolts. You just might find something...

Good luck and tell us what happens!

Thanks guys about to get to it been a bit busy, will first check oil level and condition, Not got good feeling but we will see 😕 let you know 👍
