Rattling under the hood?

My car was running fine but I saw it was time to get an oil change so I went to get an oil change and they told me that my oil was leaking, so I paid to have that fixed to. Couple hours later, my car starts making a rattling noise under the hood whenever I crank it and it doesn’t stop until I turn the engine off. When I get home, I’m gonna take a closer look but does anybody have any clue what it may be?

    Hood prop rod isn't secure or the bushing is bad.

    LIST CAR TYPE< YEAR, MODEL< and engine size, COUNTRY of ORIGIN TOO! It is POSSIBLE they disturbed the CONVERTER SHIELD and THAT would rattle! They may have had to REMOVE the shield to get to the OIL PAN!>>>CLUE>>> stop using CHEAP WAX based oil and switch to PENNZOIL ULTRA PLATINUM! it gives a 500,000 mile WARRANTY against engine issues! I have got FOUR people NEW ENGINES this way, NEVER USE VALVOLINE, an oil that NO factory on EARTH will use as it ROTS rubber and seals and GASKETS with time! SYNTHETIC OIL that is the PROPER SPEC NUMBERED OIL will PROTECT You from this type of thing! >>>GO BACK to the place that did the WORK and let them HEAR it themselves! They disturbed SOMETHING down here! ASMOIL is ANTOEHR superior oil to use! As cars are made MORE PRECISELY with precise INJECTION systems, the oil stays CLEANER LONGER and cars with VARIABLE VALVE timing will FAIL in time from using CHEAPER Oils! The SYNTH oil last up to FOUR TIMES LONGER as the molecules are MUCH MUCH LONGER and MUCH more friction free.

    Yeah, I know exactly what it is. Open & raise the hood. There's an arm that holds the hood up. Make sure that's secure.
