If it's coming from the back of the engine, it's possible that the CPS syncro might be failing (not good). You'd be able to isolate with a stethoscope.

Edit:
The oil pump relies on that, if the syncro gear fails completely, so does your engine.

how much to fix and does it need to be done by a mechanic?
