Heya Alex,
well, if it happens with the clutch in, it definitely isn't from the gearbox, since the layshaft is not turning with the clutch in. it must be coming from the motor, since it is the only thing spinning with car stationery, motor on, clutch in.
i agree, sounds like crank slapping oil. what grade of oil are you using? stuff like 20W will be pretty thick in cold winter morning starts.
try using something decent like 10W or 5W as it will be much thinner when cold.
i like 5W-50 since it is pretty thin when cold, and doesn't thin out when out, less internal friction and less waiting for oil to warm up (since warm up is to wait for it to thin out so you get proper supply to bearings.. and metal pat expansion for clearances etc)
check oil level, check oil is still oil  (not sludge) and if all else fails, use thinner oil.
Good luck,
Cya, Stewart
