Loud pops coming from engine??

So i pulled into my drive a few mintues ago and as i was pulling in my car strated makeing these loud poping noises. I that i ran over somthing but i opened the hood and its coming from the engine. Now my car has ran great with no hick ups what so ever. Im not sure what it could be and i hope its not what im thinking. The noise sounds like its coming from the top of the engine but i could be wrong. So let me know what you guys think it could be. Thanks
