What should I do with it? Should I top up with engine oil? Go for a change oil, or check the timing chain? Because it might be the problem. Because two days before I’ve heard a noise coming from the engine when I accelerated and while coasting just like the turbo sound but it is not like the normal sound I hear everyday. What could be the problem?

Hello,

I believe the noise you are hearing is the timing chain guides letting go and filling the oil pan with plastic which clogs the oil pump pick up. To be sure can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can hear the noise? That would be great. You can upload it here with your response.
