Default Problem need help

This morning i was going to school and it was sooo freaking cold. While i was driving i notice this ticking sound. It happend everytime i move the streering wheel to the left in a low speed. Everytime the engine is hot or the weather is warm there is no ticking sound. What should be the problem?
Thank you

Did it go away when the engine warmed up?

Mine does ittoo on cold days, I figure it's just the oil being cold and needed to warm up to get in the lifters really good, nothing to freak out over.

Yeah mine does it too when the engine is cold, nothing to worry about... i always just wrote it off to be a loose fit somewhere, like maybe a loose gasket that expands when it warms up to close the gap... I would say only check it out if it gets louder, worse, or more frequent... or you start noticing it when it doesn't usually happen.
