engine noise

The drivers side of the engine is ticking a lot more than the passengers side.It sounds like bad lifters in a gasser,but only on the drivers side.Is this normal?

Possible exhaust leak, look for any black tracing around your manifolds and turbo downpipe, also check out the pipes from your exhaust manifold to your turbo. When I had my ATX I thaught about doing those little donut gaskets but where clean, now thier blown. best way to look at those is from under the truck looking up toward the backside of the engine.
