Does it on start up in the morning. It's not just a real subtle sound that you have to strain to hear, its pretty obvious. Just piston slap or something serious? quits after it warms up to normal temp, i just want to make sure.
Also have a pretty bad oil leak coming from somewhere near the back of my motor, any ideas on what it is? my dipstick is really lose could that be the problem?
thanks

A good way to go about checking knocks or ticks is to listen for the timing of it, a camshaft related tick should occur at half the engine crank speed (rpm), a crank sound would be on time with the rpm's.
