I have an 86 watercooled Vanagon and it has problems. First I drove it from Salem, OR to Portland, about 60 miles. While I was in the Terwilliger curves my oil light came on and a buzzer sounded. Then it went away. the oil light went out and the buzzer quit. I drove on into Portland to my son's house. When I got there I checked my oil. The dip stick said I had plenty of oil. Then a few days later my son was driving it and the oil light came on and pretty soon a real bad sounding knock started. The knock has not gone away. I sounds serious. What is likely the problem?
