Im not sure how much came out but it seemed like around half a bottle? and I dunno if I lost a lot or not but I think Ima drain it out again and put on a new filter...could it being over filled cause the ticking?

Last time I heard a noise like that I manages to drain half of a 2 liter coke bottle out of my pan along with my shredded barrings. Hope for the best that its only a spun barring because you dont want a user name like mine ? Is it a loud clanking like slamming a hammer on a steel rod and is your exhaust choking or is the exhaust fine and just a small banging ?

It sounds like when ya spin a bicycle tire and stick a piece of paper or a stick in the spokes so it makes that taping noise...it sounds just like that.
