Clicking noise from '99 TL

I just bought a 99 TL and i notice faint clicking noise coming from the engine on the passenger side. I was just wondering if this was normal or if I should have it looked at? Any help would be appreciated.

Car likely just needs a valve adjustment.

Is it constant ticking or does it go faster when RPM speed increases?

It's a contant clicking when idling. When the engine is reved up you can't really hear it.

sounds like a valve adjustment to me too... hopefully nothing needs to be replaced. have you noticed any funny exhaust smells or decreased power / fuel economy that might coincide with this new tick?
