Basically I just wan't to know that I have that smoking gun.
The dealers been very nice thus far, other than trying to get a return call lol

Sure, they could certainly drop the pan and try to cover up the evidence before showing or telling you anything. If you dropped your car off with what is likely a failed engine and you likely signed something when the car was left with them, they aren't under further obligation to notify you before every single step of the process. If the engine is knocking, dropping the oil pan is likely one of the first things that they will do to confirm that a rod bearing has spun. I wouldn't leave anything to assumptions. If you have a way to get to the dealership and they aren't returning your phone calls, just show up and clarify the inspection and repair process.
