rattling noise when accelerating
well for awhile now, iv noticed that when im accelerating from a stop, theres a rattling sound. this can also happen when im accelerating while driving, but i dont notice it as much.
my car has been leaking transmission fluid from the axle seal for awhile now, but i dont have the money to fix it, so iv just been putting more fluid in. could this be a cause?

I hope so too, but noises are the hardest thing to diagnose over text messages...
The fact that it changes with throttle suggests that its not valve/lifter noise.
If it were wheel bearings, it SHOULD(?) change with steering around a corner.
Maybe CV joints?
Can you make the noise in an empty parking lot? Have a friend stand outside & maybe tell the location of the sound?

Crawl under the car (PROPERLY SUPPORTED PLEASE) and check the exhaust pipe end-to-end and make sure the heat shields aren't rattling against the exhaust or floor pan.
