i was driving when I noticed that my oil guages was going down, I pulled over to check the oil, i discoverd that there was no oil in there, (however, there were no visualible oil leaks on my garage floor.) I put oil in and tried to drive it home when it quit on me, after a while it started back up with loud ticking noise. I was told that it was the oil pump but ill be better off replacing the engine. I need advice and directions.

    The engine although it has no visible oil leaks it was "burning oil". It sounds like the engine starved for oil lubrication and usually results in damage to the crankshaft bearings.
