Timing chain tensioner?
Just started hearing this on my way home today. Sounds like the tensioner. Am i right, or is it worse.

If that were a 2nd Gen, I'd say borderline between being a timing chain tensioner and just low on oil. I'm not sure what a timing chain issue on a 1st Gen would sound like though.
