Hearing A Noise Under The Hood Of 08 Chevy Malibu, Engine Light On, Oil Light On

We are hearing noise under the hood of our 08 Chevy Malibu.  It is kind of a clicking sound and seems to surface after being driving about an hour.  The service engine light is on and the oil light is on.  Can you help me with what this could be?
