Recently, I have noticed that there is a brief rattling or clacking noise coming from the engine on a cold start. The noise doesn't always occur on every start, but when it does happen, it's always on a cold start. Once the engine is running the noise either stops or is simply drowned out. I can't really tell. Any subsequent start within a few hours has no problems.
Given the symptoms, my only guess right now is that it is something that is not getting enough lubrication on the cold starts. Has anyone experienced this before? I'm not sure where to start looking for the root cause or if this might be pointing to something more serious.
Thanks.
