Default Couple of issues, need your thoughts on the causes before dealership inspects and overcharges

Symptom #1 After starting the engine, If I apply slight pressure to the gas when idling, I hear a slight clunk/rattle sound coming from the front drivers side engine bay. This goes away after the car warms up/is driven.

Sympton #2 Loud popping noise comes from engine bay when reving up to 3500-4000 rpm in neutral. Not sure if this occurs when driving.

Sympton #3 When in reverse at low speed (1-4mph) and for the first 2-5 feet, hear a noticble rattle/vibration from the front drivers side wheel area.

Vehicle is 2000 2.8, with 80,000 miles driven all by me.
