The noise seems to be coming from the top of the engine, I was thinking valvetrain. But it might just be me, I'll try to pin point the source.

I don't know but if there was two of me I would kick my self in the nuts for not checking it sooner.

EDIT

No leaks. The car's always burned a little oil (and seem to smoke a little bit more than others) but it was never excessive nor to the point where the exhaust was blue. So I was never really concerned about it. (maybe half a quart between oil changes) Also the coolant is a nice healthy puke green, but I'll check it to maske sure tomorrow.

Anyone else have any insight?

-Thanks
