Default Crank case rattling

Recently a real noticeable rattling has started in my crank case, particularly from the left side (it seems). It is especially noticeable as I'm changing gears or coasting. Sounds like someone left a handful of nuts and bolts in there and they are going crazy! Any suggestions? I've never messed with that part of the bike. Can I take off the crank case cover with relative ease and just take a look? Or will fluids come out everywhere and will I regret even trying myself? Thought I would ask...
