I have a verada Ei:Kf. Whenever i start the car (initial start in the morning or back from work), there's always this knocking sound that occurs for a good few mins.It then goes away when i've driven for a few mins. Is there something wrong with the engine?

I had the timing belt change and the oil gaskets. Mechanic also changed the engine seals. I don't think the oil or oil filter has been changed since i bought it 3 months ago. I noticed the power steering fluid is on the MIN mark. Other than that, all fluids look ok. I guess its a good idea to bring it back to the mechanic and have him change the oil and the oil filter as well?
