W210 M113 Tick tick sound by cam

Does the M113 have cam oilers that go bad?

The tick tick sound started one day (that I noticed it), so I'm thinking something broke.

I hear the noise when the car is idling, but not when I'm running a normal driving speeds.

Your thoughts and suggestions are appreciated.

I did just change the spark plugs, and after that is when I noticed the sound.

The sound concerns me, but the car accelerates nice and smooth, with no other symptoms.
