I don't think it came from the top of the engine(at least not my Z). Mine came from the underside of the car (around cat area-both side). It's a constant ticking noise (exactly the same noise you get when you park your car after driving). You CANNOT hear this noise while driving or even in intersections but when you idle the car in your garage or a quiet area (after driving for at least half an hour), you will notice the sound. Not sure what it is. Doesn't affect the performance of the car in any way. I'll take a video tomorrow.
