He most likely meant to put 1.6L

Anyways, the ticking sounds may be due to low oil from your external leak or an internal leak. Check your oil level first, is that is fine, the ticking noise may be due to too much valve lash clearance (a valve adjustment is needed).

Your oil leak could be from anywhere, there are many common seals that leak on civics. Cam seals, crank seals, v-tec seals, distributor seals, etc. Just clean up the area in question and re-test for leaks.
