Are you dropping any fluids under the car?

Are all your hoses on properly, check when the engine is running?

Ticking noise is normal after a journey. That is just the metal cooling down. Re smell of fuel, as above see if there are any fluids dropping underneath car. A large bit of cardboard is good to place under car when stationary to see if any fluid hits it.
