I have a slight knocking or ticking sound now on my car and I still have about 70 miles to go to get to my home. Would it be a bad idea to continue driving?

Hi,

How loud is it? Is the engine oil clean and full? Could you record the sound and upload it for me to hear? It's a hard question for me to answer without being there. I hope you understand.

Let me know.
