Default ticking and clicking

soooo i got in my car today and there was some baaad ticking after it warmed up. i was like could be low oil. nope....thats good. then i was like sounds like an exhaust leak.....not any that i could find. so after looking on here, that makes me think its that rocker problem that is described in that sticky thread. is that a normal problem? i am scared to drive the car as i dont want anything to get worse......

it doesn't sound like its coming from the front of the engine though. it sounds like its in the back or about halfway.
