"Did your car quiet down once the leak was repaired?" Well, it's pretty loud in general. Always start up clatter and recently some bottom end slap, but the tapping that resulted from the intake leak was 10x louder than cold startup tapping. The thing about the cold start lifter tapping is that it doesn't get much louder with higher rpms. The intake leak tap sure did. Have someone check for a leak or to replace the exh. manifold gasket (IIRC, just a metal mating surface), but what you got may just be age related. I've had 2 '90's through the phase where they went from young, quiet engines to older tappy ones. My neighbor has a '94 cvt with only 70K on it. It purrs on startup and takes off with only exhaust sound, but some day soon it will change too.
On a cold startup, you could feel under the exh. manifold for water drips at the head surface - before it gets hot. No ramp necessary.
