Oil on engine noise oil light off no noise
The engine noise indicates that the oil light is not lying to you- there is a loss of oil pressure. Make sure the oil level is full. If the light comes on when making severe maneuvers or braking, the oil may be flowing away from the pickup tube in the oil pan. The oil pan may need to have a baffle in it to stop the oil slosh. Otherwise, if the light stays on for more than a few seconds, the pickup screen may be plugged with muck or sludge. If the oil light and noise happen after the car has gotten fully warm (like after freeway driving) it could be excessive wear in the oil pump or engine bearings.
