My engine started making a clicking sound and over time it got worse and just the other night I was driving it and it kinda souded like the engine blew then my car died. I wasnt that far away from my house so in the morning I was able to get it home but there was still a major clicking sound. It wouldnt stay on for long because it would just keep dying. I checked the oil and it appears to be full. But the car looks as if it hasn't been getting any oil in it.

Check the oil pressure with a mechanical gauge to rule out the oil pump
