Ticking sound would be your tappets.
Oil leak, well, depends where that's coming from, but probably just a gasket.
Sorry, don't know a mech for you.

If it's tappets, they can be adjusted which should stop the noise

The guy that sold you your car, did he have a turban, a long beard, odd looking lumps under his clothes with wires in off places sticking out of his clothing and a detonator in his hand?

Pop under the bonnet and find here the leak is coming from. Most likely your rocker covers and should not cost more than $300.00 to $4000.00 to fix.

Haha, by some of the money some of you pay to get sh*t done I would be surprised of the $4000.00!!
