I have been having a clanking/rattling noise at start up that comes from the passenger side front of the car. The sounds is most clearly heard around the passenger side of the engine. After a short time while still idling, the noise will stop. However, the sound seems to be getting worse. What could it be?

I would greatly appreciate your help.
