Broken S2
I was driving through town today and at a stoplight all of a sudden heard a clunking sound and oil pressure dropped to 1. The clunking moves with the rpms. Took off the belt cover and everything is good in there. Could it be the chain tensioner oil pipe? The car is currently sitting in a parking lot. Thanks for any help!

Thats bad. Very bad. Check the crankshaft bolt. I might very well be wrong but i think its the same as the normal 944

Have it towed to where you can work on it or to the shop.
No input on clunk.

Let me be more specific, I thought that clunk was a broken belt because it sounded like a belt slapping something. I could hear it loud where my exhaust leak is so I'm thinkin it's inside the engine

Does it sound like you're rhythmically shaking a coffee can full of rocks? Making marbles? If so, rod bearing's stuffed. If it is, you'll know by the sick feeling in the pit of your stomach hearing it makes. Not good.

The one time I was towed, I think he used those mounts in the front of the car and tire wraps in the rear...

car is home and valve cover pulled off. Everything is in tact, started it and nothing appears to be wrong. Oil pressure was good but still have that knocking/slapping sound. Sounds like it's coming from the area where the cat and resonator connect, it was already leaking air there from when I took it apart a month ago, but this sound just randomly started and is loud. Plus idk how to explain my oil pressure dropping to 1 yesterday. While the valve cover is off I'm replacing the chain tensioner pad.
