Clinking sound after startup

Hey guys,

I've got a weird issue with my 2004 Boxster base, and I'm wondering if someone else has experienced this. When I start her up cold first thing in the morning she starts fine, no weird noises (except that crank when the car is in a cold garage). After I've driven to work, back home, and I take her out again that night for a grocery run or whatever, I start her up and there's an almost metallic clinking noise. It scared the crap out of me the first time I heard it, but it seems to go away after driving it for a bit. The weird thing is, I don't hear this noise when I start her cold. Only when I've driven for a while, turn her off, let her sit for a couple hours, and come back and turn her on again.
Here's a quick video of it happening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EY_5eOmMc8k&feature=youtu.be

I have an oil change coming up this month and I'll definitely mention it at the shop, but just wanted to get some input from other 986 owners.

Cheers,
