Engine ticking 850 1996

My 1996 850 GLT with 103,000 miles suddenly developed a ticking noise in engine when idling?

Haven't checked valves - Does anyone know if "GUNK Vavle Medic" would stop the ticking noise?

I am trying to sell my car and the ticking noise isn't helping!!

I went thru this problem for about 6 months of trial and error to figure out the problem. I thought it was due to the oil being low and added half a quart which helped a bit but the problem restarted a month later. Initially my mechanic changed to a heavier weight oil which helped a bit but the problem recurred. It turned out to be an oil pump seal which was leaking which he replaced and no problems since then.

Have you checked your oil level? Sounds like you may be running low.
