brief scraping noise on startup...?

I know this might be hard to descrbe without hearing it...but when I start my 91 900 turbo when the engine's cold, it makes a loud brief scraping sound. I don't know how to type a description of the sound...but it's sort of like when the car bottoms out and makes the scraping sound, but sharper and more intense.
Right when the engine starts the noise last for a second or two, while the oil light is on. I have tried to pinpoint where exactly it is coming from, but the closest I can get is that it sounds like it's coming from the actual engine. It's closest when I lean over the engine from the passenger side, where I don't see any accessory to be making the noise. After starting a few times, or the engine has idled for a few moments, it won't happen again.
The noise has been going on for a while, and doesn't seem to be getting worse, but now I'm wondering if the cold weather will make it worse. Any ideas what this sound could be?
Thanks,
Matt
