04 Escape 3.0 engine problems

It started with intermittent humming from the engine. The humming can happen at any time (accelerating, in park, driving fast and slow). When I turn the car it seems to get noisier. I have noticed a burning oil smell at times. It has also begun to rev up to 2 in neutral. Lately it has driven poorly all around. Sometimes it seems to hesitate when starting and it feels rough when braking. Any suggestions?
