my car sputters or cuts out and when you go to make a left turn, and it ticks alot i was told that was the oil. The oil level is fine but once you get done driving it you can smell burned oil i dont know whats going on! also the brakes squeak when you smash on them whats the smallest thing you possablly have to repair

Are the lifters ticking? As far as the brakes, it could be a sensor on the pad touching to tell you they are about worn out.
