Strange?

Ok my brakes failed on the freeway last night(on the way to get them fixed.. How ironic?) and I get it back from the shop around 4pm and I start to drive it and I notice this brake burnin smell. I pull over and it seems to go away.

Skip ahead to around 9pm. Im in Argo driving a little bit spiritedly and I smell the most horrible smell iv ever smelled coming from a car, I start to pull over and the oil light starts blinking so I turn the motor off check the oil and sure enough it isnt even registering any oil. I refill it and the smell goes away until I get home and its even worse? No light though?

Any ideas? Smells a little bit like burning oil. Kinda

Are you asking for help on the brake issue, the fact that your engine has no oil in it, or the smell?

If you ask a question you'll get an answer, Statements don't really have the same effect.

Based on that I'll try and answer the potential questions I can see.

1) Brakes -
The master cylinder started bypassing
A brake hose split and leaked all your brake fluid out.
All 4 calipers seized at the same time.
The brake booster developed a leak.

2) Engine has no oil -
There is an oil leak.
The engine is burning oil.
Its well over due for a service.

3) Smell -
The clutch is slipping.
The brakes are dragging.
The exhaust has a plastic bag stuck to it.
Coolant is leaking from somewhere.

Thanks! I do have a coolant leak. Il fix that when it stops raining and il look under my car to see if theres a bag stuck to it.

Its WELL over due for service(shouda happened in june of last year). Its leaking oil from the valve seals and burning it. Major surgery required to fix that though lol.

Replacing the valve seals is a fairly accessible and (somewhat) easy fix actually.

Fix your current problems before you start trying to diagnose other issues.
