Did you at least open the hood and check for damage. Engine failure because of coolant loss would be an expensive mistake. Right after you received the damage, you should have investigated.

I strongly suggest you take it to a mechanic. It sounds like you pass the point of no return if you say your engine is making noises. Is it making noise when its cold too?

^Rule one of any enthusiast. Even if it's the slightest odd noise or smell comes from my car I pull over and check. It saved my 560SL when the coolant tube that goes to the heatercore broke. My engine would of seized if I had kept driving.
