Help!! clicking noise comming from engine

i have a 95 max with 65,000 miles but when i first start the car in the morning the engine clicks when cold then it goes away!!!!! on top of that i hear a whining noise coming from under the car but it sounds like its in the car as well but that goes away when the car is warm
Can anyone tell me what that is and is it normal

need more info

clicking when it starts sounds like and engine oil taking it's time getting up to the top.

whining could be something like gummy grease in the starter or low power steering fluid.

does it only make these noises when it's real cold out?

its possibly the alternator. Before doing anything I would try to regrease the starter. The old grease could have gotten dry
