Whenever I turn left (only left) I hear a pretty distinct ticking sound that is proportional to how fast the tire is moving. It seems to be coming from the passenger side wheel area.

I did a quick check of the outer CV boot to see if there were any cuts that would leak, but there was none. I haven't gotten the car up yet, and I don't think it is the wheel bearing.

Any ideas?

CV boots or wheel bearings would have been my first guess. If they look okay, I'd check to see if you have something stuck in your tire that is only making contact to the road when you turn the wheel.
