Hello,
I have this ticking/knocking noise coming from the front (left hand-side) of the engine. Could you, please tell me what this could be most likely due to? I have posted a couple of videos on youtube with the noise:

The car has about 127K miles. I do need to get an oil change. The oil light came up for a moment a few times and went off. I just got this from another owner who said he changed oil about 6-7K ago. At the time of purchase I noticed the noise but only few times and it went off. However, the noise seems to be constant. When I step on the gas the hard ticking accelerates but the engine sounds good to me. The previous owner said that this noise would only appear when driving at high RPMs.
Thank you for your time.
