Check the plugs r tight.

I had this in a VTS it was lose plugs i think, and there was oil leaking from the rockers around them!

prob the lifters. take oil cap off with engine running to see if there is any oil getting pumped to the head.

not just the injectors? they are loud.

If not check the spark plugs are nice and tight.
28nm is what they should be, can rattle loose if car is high rev'd alot.
