A deep knock under load is bearing damage, and every mile grinds more metal through the oil. Tow it. A light tick that fades once oil pressure comes up is less urgent, though it still wants a listen this week rather than next month.

Usually a thermostat, a water pump, a fan that stopped turning, or coolant that leaked out. The repair is cheap; the damage from driving on is not. A head that warped or a gasket that let go turns a small job into a big one, so stop the car when the gauge climbs.
