There's not enough detail in your post. Or was someone chasing you with an axe?

Running an engine dry causes damage to the bearings, crankshafts and camshafts and other movable parts. You will need an engine rebuild.

Engine rebuild and labour might be same price with replacing new engine.

If Gazzuzz is right then you have three options.
1. Do a rebuild or buy a new one as he suggested if you are uncomfortable with the rattle.
2. Try using a heavier oil like a 10w or 20w to see if the noise goes away.
3. Drive it till it quits if the rattle doesn't really bother you and then buy a new engine since the cost of a rebuild is almost same as a new engine.

How was the leak "fixed"?

If a seal was replaced, which seal are you referring to?

What oil did you use previously?
Re: Rattling, Knocking Sound After Changing Oil Seal by dannydevito(m): 7:49am On Aug 12, 2015
Total quartz 20w 50 but now used a 5w40 variant full synthetic

Congrats. Guess you can fully preach the good news about synthetic oil

I'm 100per sure you are not telling us what really happened.

A change from 20W50 to 5W40 would have little or no effect on the noise you were hearing. How did changing a seal disrupt your original timing settings? Well happy your car is running fine but as I said your story is incomplete.
Re: Rattling, Knocking Sound After Changing Oil Seal by dannydevito(m): 9:08pm On Aug 12, 2015
Gazzuzz seriously all I said was what happened... I called u myself too........maybe d oil had no effect but from my judgement it changed something but for d knocking sound it was more from the missed timing.....win or lose I didnt drive the engine dry for long during the leak....mind u ur advice of a new engine made me decide to just do this and satisfy my curiosity.....u help me tooo like u said vovlo enginrs are built to last long.........
