I have a 2011 hhr , the oil pan had a hole in it. I fixed the hole and now it has a knocking noise on the left side of engine, and when I push on gas pedal it gets louder, and it acts like it loses power why accelerating

Noise ?
Honestly. Your post is hard to read. Maybe try again.

You are losing a main bearing. You'll need a new engine real soon.

You could but it would involve removing the engine.
If you knocked a hole in the oil pan and lost all the engine oil, you have internal engine damage (noted by the engine knock)
I suggest you have repair shop or technician give you a diagnosis. With a rod or main bearing failure, you’re looking at a complete engine rebuild or replacement.

Better to replace the engine, either a new one, if you can locate one, or a used one from a parts yard.

Capacity is 5 quarts. Are you saying it lost 5 quarts, or 3 quarts, or 2 quarts?

No matter what you starved at least one bearing which will require a rebuild or replacement of the engine.
