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
