Answer 1

its not a big deal.

REPLACE THE HEAD GASKET ITS LIKE 25 BUCKS! you can do it yourself.

Then look under your car look for a bolt right under your oil pan. and see if that's leaking oil if it is replace it.

If you dont want to spend the money on a new head gasket go to AutoZone or any auto parts store and buy a Oil leak stopper for 7 bucks. that should solve your problem.

Answer 2

If you have some time give a little more description of the whistle. Sometimes belts make that noise that can be taken for a whistle. If your serpentine belt is old and worn or if it's not on at the right tension it can make a noise similar to what your describing. As far as burning oil, there are some stop-leaks as people have previously mentioned but having the vehicle diagnosed will definitely keep your mind a ease as to what the problem really is, have a friend do the work, we all know one that is savvy with autos, just think of who.
