SCARY
I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this....and what it might have been.
My wife has been using the '91 C-2 recently, and I must confess...I lost track
of miles/oil level. I drove the car and heard a metallic knocking noise towards the rear of the car. It seemed like a noise from trans/wheel area, with no apparent rythym. ( an occasional "clunk' at random). I checked the oil...2 quarts low (first time ever!) I added oil and test drove...NOISE GONE!
I'm now wondering if the noise was low oil related.
Baffled!! Tom '91 C-2 present 1966 911 20 years ago

my oil fed chain tensioners make noise at startup if my oil level is just a bit low. Perhaps they would make noise. It's unlikely, but if it sounds like a chain slapping back there it could be the tensioners.
