HI- I hope that all is ok with the emergency now.
Well the first thing you should do is to check the oil. if it is low add a can of STP to it. if it is dirty have it changed , filter too and a can of STP added to it. you might just have a little valve tap. or you could even be low on oil. if it still doesnt go away than you might have to have it looked at. but check the oil a.s.a.p. OK >>>< STP is a oil treatment and I swear by it. and use a good brand of 10w/40 oil..
