Driver side ticking noise now with VIDEO!
So heres the noise, it goes up with RPM as long as im pressing the gas pedal pretty hard, if i go slowly up you cant hear it, only becomes audible under heavier acceleration

You can have a leak with no rust. In addition, if it is a some what new or very small leak, you may not be able to see the evidence if there is any. Just food for thought. Good luck

To me, sounds like one of the rotating parts driven by the belt---lift the hood and get an adult person to play with the accelerator while you focus on the location of the noise.

100% it's the 2-parts metal exhaust flange, between exhaust manifold and head.
I had the same noise, flange was looking perfect (metal shine) but it was compressed and losing exhaust gases by age.
Replace it, easy.
