You gotta describe whats going on a bit better... calm down a bit man 
As for the oil, I wouldn't worry about it. Once in a while I get an unnerving losses of oil. his generally happens after many hard drives. Not an uncommon thing for turbo'd engines.

Well I checked it after running the car for about 10 min. then checked it. Add 1 1/2 qt. and the loud sound is gone but I still here a littel like tapping kind of like ther is a thin piece of metal hitting something. It from the turbo unit side but down I hope its like a loose bolt off my up/down pipes.
Check your muffler bearings for turbo grease residue... It happened to me but thank god i had Shiv on speed dial and he emailed me over a fix. Wow thank god for the intraweb.

How do you check it
Just to help out are you sure it was a popcorn type sound (detonation?).
It could have beensome valve chatter but i doubt you would have heard that being 1.25 qt down on oil.
