Okay, this is weird. In the paset few days, i have noticed rotton egg smell, (cat is bad i think?), heavy exhaust smell, MASS smoke coming from Catch can filter whle driving, nad burnt oil smell right after a boost run. Today i notice: 1. catch can filter is saturated with oil with oil being blown on and around catch can but can is barly 1/4 full and nothing is plugged. 2. CEL blinks on and off while sitting at stop light, but stops blinking when driving. 3. Datalogger shows #1 misfire, #3 misfire, and a "random/multiple misfire" code
The only thing i ahve done recently is to change oil and filter. I used a K&N oil filter and Valvoline 5w-30 full synthetic oil.
i have not looked at plugs yet. is it possible my oil is to thin of a viscosity?
Any ideas?

has performance seem to have a noticable decrease?
check the compression. (crosses fingers–hopefully the motor's not blown)

No comp check tonight, tomorrow for sure however.
Also no H2o in oil, no decrease in performance noticed.

i had a cel blink at idle when i blew my motor. hehe.. good old days.. but yah, check your compression.. also at idle my exhaust note was off it was not normal.. it was 'missing'.. if it turns out bad do a leak down test to see if its just the hg or what not. good luck Michael 99gs HRC Stage IV 8-Injector Setup 2GNT Member #32

Do a compression test, and start panicing. You have all the symptopms of a cracked piston.

The blinking CEL while at a stop light indicates a multiple cylinder misfire occurring right at that instant. My car used to do that pretty often after the ported/milled head, but it seems to have stopped doing that after I adjusted my cam gears and it idles better now. Do you cams? Or a rough idle? Hopefully it's something not too serious.
