If its done a high mileage it could be piston slap or a small end bush but without actually hearing it, its very difficult to tell.

Check very carefully the engine mount by the coolant header tank. They have a habit of sagging, causing intermittent metal to metal contact between the engine bearer and the body and hence noise. The clearances are tight and it's hard to see.

659.

659 is right about those engine mounts; they have an 8mm socket-head bolt up the middle - which snaps.

To check it thoroughly, you'll need to remove it.
