i know this may sound kinda newbie to ask but when i drive my mx-3 around and i park it in the garage and i leave i hear a slight ticking or dripping sound it does go away after ahile, but i dont know what it is? is it just the engine cooling down? the ticking is only occuring when i turn off the car and leave it over night till i gotta use it in the morning but the ticking is gone by the time its the next day and i dont hear it when i drive or anything any clues??? i did a search nothing similar to mine

well the ticking is a constent repeditive (tick) 1-2 sec (tick) 1-2 sec (tick) so on so fourth so most likely it is just the pipes cooling down just wanted to check with you guys ... i guess i should not look into it as much. but any noise i think u should always check into u, may never know. i can be driving and BOOM! my axel falls off ! lol

If we had diesel engines, we could convert them to run on used vegtable oil with a $600 kit.
