When I start my car (push start) it doesn't sound as smooth and roary as it used to... it now seems to sound like it makes a short struggling noise and then starts up. Not sure how to explain it but just doesn't sound like it used to, any suggestions to what might be wrong?

I checked the oil levels and the tiny grooves on the dipstick show bits of oil marked on it but isn't EXTREMELY noticeable, does this count as okay levels or should it be clearly marked?

Dipstick model is this: http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...l-Dipstick.jpg

It does not look like this but shows bits of brown on those dotted grooves: http://www.diseno-art.com/images_4/d...l_tutorial.jpg

Whenever I step down on the brakes say at a stop light, when I let go, it makes some grinding noise and is noticeable, this happens 60% of the time, causes?

THANKS!
