I developed a tap in my engine tonight, its the worst under light load (down shifting and neutral) around 1200 1500 RPM's what could it be, I was pretty low on oil, I was told If I put some in it should work its way out, but its still there, I'v only driven maybe 3 or 4 miles since the oil was put it,,,,may it not have worked through yet...am I screwed, I dunno whats up with it.

Is it a tap coming from the top area of the engine or more like a knock coming from the lower part of the engine? Pull your dipstick out and smell the oil to see if it's burnt. If it does smell burnt, might be bearings. Or if it's just a tap coming from the top of the engine, it may just be a loose rocker. dunno for sure.
