What could be the knocking noise coming from the engine area?

There is a knocking sound that started coming from my car a couple days ago. Its not a ticking or a clanking knock. It's more of the sound when you take your fisted hand and starting from an inch above a wooden desk top tap at about 1 knock per second. (Its more a deep and slow soft knock than most of the sounds I've been hearing while researching online).

To add, I have had a problem with leaking coolant from the thermostat housing gasket, well there was no gasket. We replaced that, now it doesn't leak, but the coolant is still going somewhere, I don't know where yet....

Any ideas on what the knock is and possibly where my coolant is going? And the fixes you think would be best.
