I think that's the exhaust header/manifold cooling off.

It is normal, for a few minutes, to hear the ticking as exhaust parts cool down.

How about a dripping sound? I need to do an engine bay cleaning since it's pretty dirty/oily and I can't tell if there is anything leaking now. Is the dripping sound normal or should I look for something in particular?
