Default funny ticking sound?

I started my car for the first time today in about a month (away for the winter) and there was this ticking sound coming from the engine...wondering what it may be...theres only about 34000 miles on the car...any ideas?...


As soon as march rolls around its already going in (dealer) for rear end work...if theres something else that i think needs to be fixed i will try and get it out of the way...thanks

if it's loud and goes away as a little bit of gas is given i think it could be an exhaust leak because less air has a chance to come out of the leak spot
try to see if you can pinpoint the area and feel for some air
