I had this problem before...it is a munchkins from the Wizard of OZ..I believe that he is part of the lolly pop guild! In order to get him out you have to place a yellow brick road to the middle vent with it leading out of the car. Works like a charm.
Seriously though I've heard some ticking before, and it was usually because I was low in oil. As soon as I filled it back up no more tick. Possiblity?
