Clicking noise coming from front of engine
For a while now I've noticed a "clicking/ticking" noise coming from the front of my car. Today I put my car up on Rhino Ramps and crawled underneathe and I've narrowed it down to what sounds like the timing chain cover. I know it's not an exhaust leak, it doesn't have that kind of "tick" to it. It's also noticeably louder when the car is cold and in drive vs. park. I noticed a little bit of oil and dirt on the timing chain cover also, but I've never had any oil collect on the ground. Any ideas what may be causing the clicking/ticking noise in that area?

well unless your chain is about to take a dump.... i'd bet 5$ on your tensior pully.
they are easy to remove...mine lasted 113,xx miles untill it started to make a clicking noise.
best way to tell is.. get the car on ramps, turn the engine on and crawl under with a long screwdriver... and put it against your ear...listen for a clicking on the timing cover or the pulley tensioner.
