Subject:      Clicking sounds

The engine in my '84 Vanagon has picked up a clicking sound.  Sometimes it
sounds like valve noise, and other times it sounds like an exhaust leak.  I
had the oil changed today (Castrol 20W-50) and a new Mann oil filter.  I
also asked my mechanic to check the exhaust system for leaks as I had
problems with one of the exhaust manifold gaskets leaking.  When I picked
the van up this evening, the shop manager reported that everything was okay.
Where do I look next?  Clicking noise is louder when engine is under load.
For example, shifting from park to reverse with the brakes on, made the
noise louder.
