Noise at the front + Oil consumption too high

Hello everyone!

For a few months now I have been hearing a rather strange noise at the front of the vehicle, a kind of tiktak (Škoda Octavia II 1.9TDI 105ch from 2011, 196.000 Km on the odometer) accompanied by a large overconsumption of oil (once we found the crankcase almost empty even though it has made less than 10,000 km since the last oil change).

I uploaded the noise made to Soundcloud, here is the link (It’s more pronounced at the end).

Where do you think this noise comes from? and do you think that it has something to do with overconsumption of oil?

Thank you !
