There is a rattle noise when I start the car in the morning then it goes away. I also hear a light rattling noise when driving but I’m not sure where it’s coming from. Also, there are oil leaks from the side of the engine. What could be causing the rattling noise?

I would make sure the engine oil is clean with a new oil filter and make sure the engine oil level is okay. Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so I can hear the noise? That way I can tell for sure what's going on. You can upload it here with your response.
