Crossfire XR Y axis clicking/tapping?

CrossFire ® XR
1

Today I’ve been doing a good amount of cutting for a big order of awards I need to finish In a couple of days. All of a sudden, I’ve got a weird click/tap when the Y axis moves in the positive direction, away from the screen. It sounds like it’s on the Y2 side (opposite the screen). It does not do it when going in the negative direction.

Here’s a video of it.

I’ve looked all over in the guide wheels and on the guide tube, and I can’t find anything that would seem to cause it. I’ve also had someone move the gantry while I went over and watched it up close, and I can see anything abnormal. it doesn’t seem to hurt cut quality though. Has anyone come across anything like this before? anyone know what it might be?
thanks,
Sam

I use Lukus engine treatment oil; it is thick like honey doesn’t make a mess like grease would. cut the nozzle close to end so it will fit where oil plug hole is on ball nuts and squeeze bottle until oil starts to come out around felt wiper.

I would check these components to figure out where that sound is coming from.
