So what I got out of this post was that when it was lower, you didnt have the issue, but now that its higher you have the air bubbles?

If thats the case then you put too much oil in and its been getting air bubbles in it from frothing around in the crankcase.

Don't want to scare you... but sometimes bubbles in the oil pan can be caused by coolant - that means you may have broken something. Although the thing you may have broken could just be a headgasket. I'm not sure if that would relate to your tapping sound though.

Oh ok, Well I was judging from the way you wrote your post, if thats the case, it seems like you may have ring problems or coolant may have gotten in.
