I have a steady tick from behind me while at idle. It may be there at higher rpm, but i just may not be able to hear it. I am thinking lifter? I have driven it for a while and doesnt go away and have changed oil recently as well. I can also hear ot outside the car, but very faint. Any help would be appreciated. No CEL or smoke or anything
