hello Mandy, Nice to meet you!
I am sorry to hear about this thump noise you are hearing. When it comes to noises or noises that you can feel, they are normally best checked in person. I am going to ask some questions to see if I can determine a direction of repair for you. But of course you should have this checked to verify my thoughts.
So first thing I am going to say, the P0021, I would start off by checking the engine oil level. I have seen low oil level cause this type of code...
Then next, is this thumping noise rotational? Do you feel or hear it change it's speed as you drive faster?

If you press the gas it seems to get worse. But if you drive it slow it seems to smooth it's self out an stops making the thumping noise.

Does stepping on the [brake](/topics-brake-nissan/) pedal change the thumping?

NoOn the nissan murano it's difficult to tell if the oil is low. An hard to hear it shift.

You have to understand how to read the oil level.
You won't feel it shift because it has a belt driven transmission.
When you are breaking, do you feel a vibration when driving at higher speeds?

Could it be the pin stuck?it does shake when you press the brake pedal.

If you have a vibration when braking, you have warped rotors and this thumping could be in the brakes. I have seen rotors warp for many way. But I would certainly start by checking the brakes. That can cause a thump feeling cause the pad is moving around when pressure is not applied. When braking and pressure is applied, that is when you feel the shake.
Yes, it could be a seized slide pin or a caliper issue.

Hello I drove my car an I notice some smoke where the engine is. I checked the oil an it was all over the dip stick.

We are limited to one topic per question. But if you see smoke and oil around the dipstick. It's possible that it may have not been inserted all the way or is not sealing properly which is causing oil to seep out and burn off the exhaust causing the smoke.
Still not sure what you need?
Have a certified mobile mechanic diagnose what's wrong with your car, at your home or office.

My 07 NISSA MURANO makes a thumping feeling in the front an then after awhile it would stop. But if you come to a stop and go again it would make that same thump. Mechanic's Assistant: Where exactly do you think the noise is coming from? And how long has this been going on? In the front and I notice it a couple weeks again. Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Murano yourself? What have you tried so far? The code said p0021. Not sure if that would cause it. Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? There was a sweet smell when I turn on the heater.
