My car recently began to make a grinding/clicking

Need a lot more info, as it can be any number of things. It might be the starter pinion gear not retracting. Could be a bad CV joint. Try to visually inspect the CV boot, if it has a crack or is loose, could allow moisture in and deteriorate joint.

    I have a 2004 santa fe with only 85k on it and the engine needs major repairs. Would this be covered under a manufacturer warranty being so old but with so low of miles.
