Default In Need of SOLUTIONS

Hello people of my350z.com. I would like to see if i could get any opinions on my possible bad situation. After It has sat for more than 2 hours and I go to start it. The car makes a multiple ticking sounds for the count of 2 seconds then runs normal. To what I have herd it could be near the bottom of the engine. But the funny thing is, if I turn it of right after I turned it on. The sound isnt there. So it could be something to do with the oil getting to the top. But Im uncertain. If I cant get ideas here or a solution Im going to have to dig deep in the pit of butterflies and find the money to diagnose it at a mechanic shop.

Hope someone can provide a solution thanks for reading!

I assume you have checked the obvious...oil level?
When was your last oil change?What kind of oil are you using?
What does your oil pressure gauge read?How many miles on your car?
What kind of oil filter are you using?

that is a normal thing for our cars. watch your oiol, or post a video if youre really worried.
It stops the next time as the top ebnd is now covered w oil versus it was NOT covereed in oil when it sat. Very standard. For any car actually.
