How do i go about geeting this problem resolved. I dont want to drive it until i figure whats wrong. 
Any help is greatly apprciated...
I would NOT drive it anymore. Could be a spun bearing. The reason I say you shouldn't drive it is because you could totally blow your engine and need a replacement. i've heard several stories of seized engines. Save your engine while you still can. Get it checked out ASAP. That's what I've heard.
