Engine knocking when cold?!!?!

When i start my car in the morning i noticed over near the left bank of the engine bay, somewhat by the belts (but coming from above the belts kinda) is a knocking noise. Engine knocking only really happens when the car is warmed up and it doesnt really even sound like the engine is knocking. What could this be? once the car warms up the sound is completeley gone....

It almost seams like its coming from behind the intake manifold and to the left right above the belts....

Any guesses?
