have you checked the motor mounts? the bushings could be worn down to nothing. do you reckon it's mechanical? as in the engine knocking instead of rattling? hopefully the valves are not chattering. without a video for sound, i'm unsure. just a couple of shots in the dark.

. plenty of oil in crankcase? what's the oil smell like/look like? burnt or normal? start the engine and let it idle, take a close look at the motor mounts, the exhaust pipe, and other peripherals that can vibrate and make noise. don't hesitate to feel around with your gloved hands. just don't burn yourself. that'd suck. i'm sure we can narrow this down for you fairly quickly.

well first figure out where exactly the noise is coming from because something kinda similar happened to mine except it was a more high pitched noise. i too off the exhaust, tapped it with a hammer a few times and a load of **** fell out and the noise disappeared. but if its definitely leaking oil then it cant be good anyway you look at it....
