engine knocking and brake fluid

So my two questions are irrelevant but here it goes. First off my engine has a slight knocking sound when idling. Normal or problem? I change my oil three times already from new and have 16000 miles on her. Second the other day when i was driving my brake fluid light came on and turned off in like 3 seconds and then it did it again today. Normal or problem?

I would take it in under warranty & have it checked.....also to start an audit trail in the event it gets worse & the dealer says nothing is wrong.

They all make noise.....did you check your brake fluid?

Have you checked your brake fluid levels? Some 2010s had a leak in the cap.

check your brake fluid, check your oil, take it to your dealer and start an accurate log of everything that has happened and what is being done with your car.

okay thanks guys. I had the brakes changed today by my friend who said i had no brake pad left so I'm assuming thats why that light came on. And the engine knocking is becoming a problem cause my dealer says it normal but no other camaro I've seen sounds like that. I think I'm just going to go to another dealer. Ill try and put a video i gotta see if you can hear it in the video
