my car started making a clicking noise in the engine and it sounds as if there is a hissing noise i have no idea what is it or what to do.

its a 96 max se with 134 000 km'>82 000 miles?

You don't have a timing belt, but a maintenance free timing chain. Hissing noise is probably a vacuum leak somewhere and clicking noise can be anything. Is it rythmic with RPM or with car speed?

do you have the warranty extended because the drive train warranty is only for 5 years or 60000 miles

Well, why are you asking here? If you are still under warranty, bring it to the dealer and let them take care of it. From your picture, it looks like you have a heavily modified car. Make sure you remove any mods the dealer can use as an excuse for refusing warranty work on your car.
