I have a 1997 Toyota Celica GT.
Everytime I turn off my car after it has been driven while it's warm. It always has clicking or dripping noise after I turn it off. I noticed it does the same thing with my fathers 97 camry le(same engine as mine). Is this normal? Or is there something else? -------------------- |

Some of it is oil dripping from the inside of the engine and hitting the windage tray, some of it is the engine/exhaust metals cooling and connecting joints popping.

I actually have an oil leak somewhere I don't know. I replaced my Valve cover gasket and it stoped MOST leaks but it still leaking somewhere from under the engine. The top doesn't have oil leak no more. Might be what you said. Thanks. -------------------- |
