for the past couple days i've noticed a knocking sound whenever i accelerate. its usually only really noticable at higher speeds (above 40mph). its been running a little hot lately. i had a coolant leak from the lower radiator hose about a week ago. i replaced the hose and it hasn't leaked badly since. last night after i got home it looked like the coolant was bubbling out from the lower radiator hose. i tightened the clamp and it seemed fine. today i noticed the cooland bubbling in the over flow tank after a short drive. a few days ago on my way to work a spark plug popped out. it didn't seem to have anything wrong with it so i threaded it back in and i haven't had any problems with it since. so now for the questions... is all this stuff related? what kind of tests can i do to find out whats wrong? does it sound like a blown head gasket/ warped head or possibly something worse? any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
