Just trying to figure out if it's something that should be replaced immediately.

pretty sure from my experience.. its just occasionally tea time. beyond that? no harm. if it bugs you, engage the clutch, that usually quiets it for awhile and it only happens ( or should?? ) when very hot. this was from my x50 car before replacing. current car has the updated ps res.
