i need help figuring out what is wrong with my car. a while back i was driving to this restaurant, and all of a sudden i heard metal scraping. so i jumped out to see if i was dragging something underneath the car, but there was nothing there. so i started driving again and was getting that noise again. once i got to the restaurant i popped the hood and pulled the dipstick out and a poof of steam came out and when i checked the dipstick there was really hot black oil. so i went inside and ate and came back out, and checked everything again, and started driving and it was fine. till today. i got that same scraping noise except it sounded more like a sucking noise. and it got louder and faster as i sped up. and then after a while there was this last like big slurping noise and it stopped. any ideas to what my problem might be?
