I just recently fixed an oil leak about 3 weeks ago however the car's engine bay would smell like oil burning but there is no leak. I feel it has lost some power though. It is also at 200675 miles. Help please it runs fine even with a loss of power but i think it could run better.

Could just be residual oil from the leak burning off. Have you done a tune up for it yet? New spark plugs and wires, distributor cap and rotor, PCV valve, fuel filter, and air filter? If not those are things that should be done.
