My car has been sluggish the past few weeks, not giving the power it should, I wouldn't be able to get past 75 in 5th , and the revs would not go past 4 thousand and acceleration was VERY VERY slow and finally today going up a hill , it died. I looked under the hood, and there was what looked like some kind of oil, all over the place, but I couldnt see anything broken or valve undone. Basically as the car was dying, I would press of the gas and the revs would bnot repsond but rather slowly went back down from the cruisng of 3000RPM to zero and thats when the car stopped and wouldnt start again. Finally I could see smoke as what seemed to be the leaking oil touching the hot parts of the engine burned and I got this STRONG burning smell in the car. HELP what could it be, I am worried that the head cracked and the car is totalled or the tranny died, wither way unless it is under 500$ the car is not worth fixing because I only bought it for 3 grand, ADVICE?
