Wondering what this noise is on my corolla. It only happens when I leave the car parked for a nearly a week like 4-7 days. I start it and it produces a ticking noise that is fairly clear and loud. When I open the hood looking at the engine the noise seems to originate from the left side of the engine near the top like possibly from within the engine, or in the timing chain and serpentine belt area. Could anyone with experience with these engines or Toyota's in general help me.
