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.

You'll be burning off the residual oil for a while...my rear main leaked bad for a while (now it just drips every now and then, lol) but even after I cleaned off all I could get to and see it still smelt bad (and even smoked outta the hood) for a while. Def check your PCV valve, mine was clogged with oil was causing it to spray the oil out the rear main and made it run terrible at times. And of course wires plugs dizzy ect.
