clunking sound coming from the side of the motor!!

I got my car back on friday and its been runing good and everything. This morning i started the car to move it to install the samco hoses.All of a sudden i hear "clack ,clack clack" coming from the side of the motor on the passenger side, sounded like a rock or a something hitting metal and plastic. At first it sounded like it was a bolt that was loose and jumping up and down on the cam gear belt and sounded like it was hiting the cover.I took the cover off and nothing, everything was fine. Started the car again and i could still hear it, but it sounded like it was coming from the pulley or around that area. Dont know if a bolt came out or if they left something in there that was tangled up in one of the belts. I turned the car off and then on later to move it, and the noise went away completely!!! Ive been driving the car and its fine w/o problems, im affraid that there might be a bolt missing or a screw and something may come off while im driving. Im taking it back to the dealer tomorrow AGAIN!!! This is rediculous!! Oh and also i noticed that the coolant overflow tank is on low, dont know if they forgot to refill it after the fixed the car..

maybe as far as the coolant overflow tank they did not let the car idle and get hot to keep filling radiator after thermostat opens

What was the dealer fixing on your car?
All I can say is that its likely due to a careless mechanic

Anyway. If your hearing clicking odd noises from the tbelt side of the engine, I suggest that you get it checked out ASAP. If you have a tbelt pulley going bad, or a loose bolt this is the worst area of the engine for it to happen. If something comes loose, it could jam the tbelt and ruin your cyl head.

get it check out NOW and don't drive the car untill you know what the noise is.
