98 ml320 engine noise

My 98 ml320 with 134k starting to make a clack-clack-clack sound in the morning when engine is cold. Very noticeable. Not valve train noise. Usually, it goes away after 5 minutes of driving. The car drives fine other wise. Still has some oil sludging that collects on the engine cap and uses about a quart of oil every 3-4K miles. I look at the belt, it looks fine. The harmonic balancer was replaced at 60k miles.So far I can't trace this noise. Any thoughts. Thanks.

John
