Default help me porfavor! annoying squeaky noise!!

so when i turn on my car...its fine. EXCEPT for a stupid clicking noise.

then i let it sit for minute or so....and then comes the squeakyness.

its driving me crazy. everywhere i took it they told me it was a noisy/sticky lifter.

so...what do yall think?

i seafoamed it and it went completly away. then i did the oil change after 100 miles and it was fine. but then it started up again...idk.

i've gone about 3000 miles now...and about to do my oil change. is it bad or harmful if i seafoam it again??

please help me. anyone know what i can use or do for it to go away?

please help =[

Lifters don't squeak (at least not for long). Check your idler pulley, the A/C pulley etc. The clicking may be your A/C clutch engaging and disengaging. Do you hear the clicking with the A/C off?

well...its not my ac pully. cause i just got a new ac compressor. it went out so i had to replace it.

and im sure its something internal, because when i open the oil cap to look inside the valve cover, i can see that the sound goes with the movement of the lifter.

and you can hear it louder.

and at first i thought it was the belt but it wasnt.
