and ZNEUBAUER: check the oil as in level and condition? or pressure? and I don't have a pressure gauge.
My brother had been driving the car for about 2 weeks when I was off at school and when I came back I check the oil level and it was slightly below the minimum mark on the dipstick. Could that have cause any of the causes that you guys stated? or any others?

both, I woulda sent you my pressure guage because I have no use for it but I gave it away already. its possible, but not very probably, with the lower level of oil, that your oil pump might have had a moment or two of low or no oil pressure, and this can be catastrophic.
