Pulled ignition coil #4. The problem may be oil in the spark plug

well. The end of the ignition coil boot had a little bit of oil as well. Looks like I need a valley pan gasket replacement. The clicking noise is still there so maybe it's valve cover gasket related. The noise does not go away unless I turn the engine off.

How can you write a year and mileage,but not an engine you have?
Valley pan and DISA Valve don't coexist in any neither engines X5 is fitted with.

Oops! Forgot to include that I have the 4.4i M62

I was doing a search for clicking noise in engine bay area and the disa or adjuster seemed like the logical part based on the sound from more than one video that I viewed and listened to. I have no clue yet so I was throwing ideas out and hoping someone might have an answer. Hoping it's not a more serious chain issue.

Does this noise go away when you rev the engine?
