Oil consumption, MC2

[Larry C Leung]

Hello List,

I have been informed that my exhaust "smells", possibly like oil.

I have also noted that I MAY have more oil consumption than
usual, but I haven't been driving the Q as a daily driver anymore,
now that I have the inherited Subie. Saves door dings (and it
uses less regular unleaded gas).

Any ideas on what to check (and/or how)?

I am also wondering if this has anything to do with the fact
the car is running poorly. I have full boost (on the dash
digital gauge) but NO power. Car acts like pressing on the
gas causes the engine distress. It picks up from low RPM
semi-normally, but then it stumbles and doesn't respond,
although the boost gauge goes up).

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA!
