When the engine revs at a certain speed(under load or in neutral) ther is a fast ticking/clicking sound coming from the part directly underneath the brake fluid reservoir. When i go up or down in revs it stops.

I am not able to upload a photo to my computer but i have looked at parts online. It is the brake servo. The noise comes from this area and is more noticable from inside the car. The engine itself sounds fine and not tappety at all like my old fiesta bearing in mind it is the newer 2003 duratec engine.
