So im new to the forum so here goes. i seached ticking noises but didnt find anything quite like my problem. first off i drive an 03 eclipse gts. the problem started id say maybe 2 months ago, so the weather was warm like 80 degrees, every once and a while when i would start my car, there would be a ticking sound coming from my engine that would continue for about 25 to 50 seconds. sounds similar to a lifter. but it only seemed to happen when the engine was cold and it did not always happen either. and i change the oil regularly. i took it to my mechanic, and what do you know it wont act up for him, even when he had it for a few days. he told me that what i discribed to him sounded like a leaky lifter. i dont know if this is what it is, but i need some advice. since it started i have put probably 5000 miles on the car, and recently changed over to synthetic oil. the weather has gotten colder and it seems to make the ticking last longer, like more along the lines of a minute to two minutes. i have put seafoam in my oil by recomendations from the mech, but it has not stop the ticking sound. any suggestions guys.
p.s. sorry if this is already a topic
