I have a clicking noise that appears to come from behind an access panel above the passenger's left foot immediately adjacent to the console. When I remove the small panel, I see some metal piping that is very hot to the touch when the car is running. The clicking starts upon startup when the outside air is very hot and lasts for about 5 to 10 minutes...then stops. It does not return until the next time the car is started. Any thoughts as to what is going on here? The sequence is something like click, click, pause, click, click, click, pause, click, pause etc. cheers,
