Thanks for the response neil.
Yes currently running without the cat and boy does it sound like a VW.

I have a malicious little brother thats a mechanic so we both know our way
around the motor's & cars. I suspect foul play, possibly just a hunch but he
stopped talking to me, after the fuel leak.

I pulled the plugs after having it towed how and they are blacker than
black, the whole plug is black.

Burning oil and running rich is defiantly a possibility, running nothing
past the drivers side last bend, for exhaust. muffler cat, etc...

I'll get plugs and a quart and hopefully it should fire right up,
but would running without the muffle cat, all of a sudden cause this?

Possibilities
