Default tickticktickticktick

So the other day I heard a very very faint ticking sound. And the last night it became very definate that it was a tick, very fast tick . Well i checked my oil and it was Very low, i filled it up with oil and its still ticking. Only during exceleration, and it seems more prominent in a lower rpm range. I was just wondering what the ticking sound could be. its a very rapid tick. My car is a 01 gt with 63,000 miles. Thanks for any info.

The ticking sound could be some type of explosive device with a timer. I would get rid of your car immediately...

Check for an exhaust leak.
