The machine needs stripping down as something it likely worn. The gearbox is also packed with grease and may need re-packing. They do need periodic servicing. Does it make the same noise with the bowl removed? Sometimes the noise will be attachments hitting the bowl. There is an adjustment screw underneath to see clearance.
My first inclination, is the noise was the brushes burning out, If you over did it, you may have burned out the motor, then it "is" trash. "If" it is just the brushes, that can be fixed, take it to your local appliance repair guy to have it checked.
Could be a problem with the start windings.or start switch.maybe a capacitor .on the older models the start switch sticks just needs freed up and contacts on start switch cleaned.
I don't have a direct answer for you. There are many things which could cause the noise from a beater simply hitting the bowl to internal gear problems. You did not say which model you have so take a look at the two Service Manuals linked below. One of these ought to cover your machine.

Leaking of oil in a stand mixer is not necessarily indicative of a large problem.
Kitchenaid stand mixers are overpacked with oil to last the lifetime of the motor. If the motor sits idle for some time (is not used), the oil may begin to drip from the gears and settle. Oil leakage may primarily be seen from around the beater shaft or planetary action.
A stand mixer can lose up to a 1/4 cup of oil before it needs to be serviced.
It is recommended to run the mixer on speed 10 for 2 minutes in order to redistribute oil back into the motor. In order to prevent future occurences, this is recommended to be done every 3 weeks if mixer is not being used.
If it's metallic sound you are loosing teeth on a gear or two. This is caused by lack of lubricant or simply fatigue of the material of the gears. Don't use it, you can get metal flakes in your food.
Take it in to a repair shop and have it fixed. The money spent is well worth it because if done correctly will last another 12 years.
