What could be the knocking noise coming from the engine area?
There is a knocking sound that started coming from my car a couple days ago. It's not a ticking or a clanking knock. It's more of the sound when you take your fisted hand and starting from an inch above a wooden desktop tap at about 1 knock per second. (It's more of a deep and slow, soft knock than most of the sounds I've been hearing while researching online).
To add, I have had a problem with coolant leaking from the thermostat housing gasket—well there was no gasket. We replaced that, and now it doesn't leak—but the coolant is still going somewhere. I don't know where yet....
Any ideas on what the knock is and possibly where my coolant is going? And what fixes do you think would be best?
Thanks for any suggestions. :)

Check where the starter connects to the flywheel there is a plastic shroud sometimes they warp and the flywheel hits it replicating the sound ur describing u can just take it off if it is that it wont hurt anything as long as ur not off roading or trying to stck ur hands in there while its running
