Ooo, thank you. That makes me very happy, although I will try not to get my hopes to high or low.

EDIT:

I feel sorta stupid for not adding this earlier, but last night I did drive the car a short distance after the appearance of this noise. I did not notice the sound in operation, only at idle or very close to idle. I mean to say that the car sounds fine going down the road. I recognize driving it that short distance was an error in judgment.

And also, like I said earlier, I am hesitant to even start it but I recognize that I very well may have to.
