Default 951 making diesel sound only at idle

Hello all,

I noticed today the car making a diesel like noise at idle coming from what appears to be the cam tower (although I am not too certain of the exact location). I filled up with oil but the sound remains. Strangely it only is audible at idle. As soon as a tiny bit of throttle is given the engine note smooths out. Any ideas on what it could be?

Please don't be anything major, I just had my timing belt and clutch replaced.

Dead lifters can cause loud clanking diesel noises. Do you have a video/sound file?
