exhaust leaks are worse on a cold motor. A lifter noise would make noise all the time.

Sounds like air. I would find someone with an IR camera and look through it underneath the car and in the engine bay. If something is leaking, it should show right up.

If you have any friends who are fireman, you can stop by their station. They have these on their trucks.

Sounds like the fuel injectors ticking, especially @ idle.
