Default Clicking noise and smell of oil

Hi all,

I have a clicking noise coming from driver side (US car) and a smell of oil inside the cabin. Is this something to do with EVAP? Just got to work and thought I'd ask of there was a quick "fix" I could do or am I looking at new parts?!!

Thanks guys,


David

The clicking noise is hard to interpret. If you can record it there may be more help. I suspect the oil smell is from a valve cover leak, check around the back of the covers where oil can drip onto the exhaust system.
