Would this be the notorious exhaust manifold leak?

Hello everyone!

Recently I noticed ticking sound from the driver side. It went away after I drove it for about 10 min. Would this be the exhaust manifold leak?

Also it doesnt happen at every first start, so Im kinda confused what might the issue.

Sure sounds like it.

Yep, that’s how mine started and it only gets worse. Just had both of mine replaced (took dealer 3 mo to get them…back ordered of course)

They can only get two sets at a time. I haven't had the problem, but discussed it with my write up. They have to do the replacement, and return the 2 bad sets, to get more.

I am fairly certain they are very easy to get right now. We stock 6 sets(1 for each side) now with no issue replenishment. That may depend on their stocking depot.

Yeah, it was 6 or 8 months ago, I was told that, so it must have changed. Which is good.
