Drivers Side tick 01 205k head gasket lifter or exhaust - UPDATED
My 01 has developed a ticking/clicking/farting sound coming from the drivers side of the motor. It's barely noticeable at idle, it's frequency is engine speed dependant, and it gets louder under load (uphill). I'm certain it's not coming from the SAI system unless the leak is where the tubes meet the head? and i'm thinking it's down to
Head gasket
lifters
exhaust leak
It's not throwing any codes (except for an 02 sensor heater on pass side) so i'm really confused-
The noise is barely noticeable at idle so I doubt it's a lifter, The plugs all look OK so i doubt it's the head gasket and i'm not getting any misfire codes (though there does seem to be a lack of power) so i am doubting it's a lifter
The truck came to me with 199k on it, i replaced the coils, wires (sti), plugs, all fluids, y-pipes (and gaskets for)
Anyone got any ideas?

Flex Plate? i'm going to do the stethescope thing again today... i did it before and thought it was the SAI system. it really sounds like it's coming from one of the forward two cylinders on the drivers side bank... also, it just started after i put 10-30 mobil one in... today i am also going to switch it to 5-50
