I've been hearing what sounds a lot like rod knock in my wife's 2005 Mazda 3 (2.3L Manual 75k). I hear it when I press on the gas at around 2100-2400 rpm for 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear. Not on idle, only when gas is pressed. I've heard rod knock on other cars before and this doesn't 'seem' nearly as loud. I'm wondering what my plan of action and options should be starting now.
Also, costs of each option (motor + labor, rebuild, and diagnostics)
(apparently there was an oil leak that lead to this, as I started to see oil spots on the driveway about 2 weeks ago)
