98 GU knocking noise in front end of engine

[Bigcol]

I area around the oil fill cap looks to have a bit of fresh oil around it. Checked the cap and it seemed tight.

so who was the last person under the bonnet, putting oil in..........???

have a look in between the fan and the shroud - make sure there is no spanner / screwdriver sitting in the shroud, clanging on the fan
