Started making weird tap noise 2 days ago, oil wasn't showing up on dipstick. Added 2 quarts. It showed normal. Yesterday started making noise again. Checked, was a quart low. Added marvel oil stuff whatever it is. It was only barely making the noise. Today, showed a quart low. Added a quart. Still made noise. Drove to south end. Stopped for a minute, temp was running 225. I cut the defrost onto heat and drove home. Temp stayed around 194. Water started collecting on floor board. Let it sit at home for a bit after adding engine honey and it was quieter. Drove back to south end and it stalled at a light still running around 210 degrees. Stopped again and the oil light came on and temp went to 215. Added water even though it wasn't really low, drove home. On 31 the Rpms revved up to 5k and speed was sitting at 60mph and oil light came on. Oil light went off, car returned to normal, no oil on dipstick again and making noise louder

Sounds like you have a heater core that's leaking and either an oil leak or its burning oil.
