Strange sizzling noise from underneath

Today I heard a sizzling noise from under my 2012 after driving (though I suppose it's possible it happens while driving as well). Sounds like something dripping onto something very hot.

Since my driving is almost entirely short trips around town, I might be a candidate for one of these carbon-related problems. It sounds like there are at least 2 different issues, is that right?

Good photo. Assuming you got your car new from a dealer, it looks like they dinged the rim and got it repaired, and you're seeing a bondo chip. Too thick for a paint chip, and there's a hint of the...
