2000 dodge intrepid, 82,000 miles, 2.7L V6 engine. AUTOMATIC

whenever I accelerate I can barely hear a knocking but ITS THERE!It started about 2-3 weeks ago and im worried and it also has a little oil leaked which leaks SMALL DOTS onto my garage floor occasionally(which tells me, someone who knows nothing about cars, that the leak isnt too bad) also when I accelerate from a stopped position I can smell burnt oil(smells like when a car over heats, a VERY DISTINCTIVE smell). Im also afraid of taking it to the shop cuz I heard a lot of bad things about this 2.7 engine and I dont want to have to pay for a new engine which would MOST LIKELY cost more than I paid for the car($4000) back in november '06

Ok so I was driving my car and realized the sound is more of a clanking/rattling than a knocking. Its a bit high pitched and not loud at all. Sounds like a metal can full of metal balls being shaken. Hope this helps
