does it continue as it warms up? does it rise with the revs? if so, check to make sure that you have enough oil, if it is low, add oil and see where you are losing it from.

It sounds like its probably an exhaust leak I have the same exact problem. I read somewhere that the exhaust manifold bolts tend to loosen up over time. Mine will tick back by the manifold turbo area but as soon as the manifold gets hot, 30 seconds or so, it gets totally quiet again.

I am not too concerned about it unless it gets worse.
