1993
Mazda
Protege
200K + miles on car

When my car is "warmed up" it starts to make a ticking noise. The ticking noise stays there the whole time unless the the engine noise covers it up. When the turn off the car after driving it for a little bit, the car still makes the ticking noise until the car fully cools.

I am not sure what the sound is or how harmful it is for the car. From what I read so far, it may be an exhaust manifold gasket that may be leaking??? But I am very unsure and would like some help from anyone who may be able to lend a helping hand.

Thanks

That's very possible. It would take a trained ear to tell the difference.
