Engine ping

My local indy just replaced the idler pulley for me and said that it appears the car is starting to burn oil. They added a quart and a week later the oil pressure light came on as I pulled in my driveway. I added another quart, but now there is a pinging/tapping sound almost like a Mercedes diesel. When I took the cover off around the oil fill (to take a quick look around for anything obvious), the noise got louder however I don't see anything out pf the ordinary. I haven't had a chance to look any further into it, but will do so this weekend (not driving the car in the mean time. Are there any ideas other than doom and gloom?

Thanks,
