I have two problems and I'm not sure if they are related and if I should try to fix them or just buy a new car. I guess I have an oil leak. I smelled some burning from the engine so I went to a gas station and found there was no oil in my engine (according to dipstick) I added two quarts with plans for an oil change the next day. The next morning my car was completely dead. No lights, not even the automatic door locks would work. I got it jumpstarted, but during driving, when I was stopped at a light, it would idle slower and then die. I parked it and within 4 hours the battery was completely dead again. I have never had to jumpstart this car before. Is it my alternator? Could my oil problem be related to this? Is my engine ruined because it was running on so little oil? Thanks for any advice!
