The car was driven to school one day fine, no sounds. On the drive home about 1 mile, this clicking sound started all of a sudden. Almost sounds like a lifter,maybe, but appears as if it is a "plastic" clicking sound. It is coming from the left side of the engine. I notice a black plastic cover it seems as though it might be inside it, not positive on that though. checked the oil, its fine, the car starts and runs fine,no misfiring or other sounds besides the clicking. The clicking sound does sorta go away with RPMs (it gets quieter). Please help if this seems like a problem you can solve, thanks
