I need help!!

the past couple of days my car has been acting really weird it will randomly start missing then not be able to accelerate very quickly at all then go back to normal. today it did it but when i pulled over and popped my hood there was oil all over the place and now it has the blinking engine light saying its misfiring and has very little power. any suggestions?

Try to find out where the oil is coming from. Check your plugs and throttle body.

Plugs would by my first guess assuming it didnt start this after any mod.
Replace your plugs and run some of that Lucas Fuel Injector cleaner through
for good measure.

oil stick is fine. i just checked the injectors, coil packs, spark plugs, supercharger, throttle body and belts. they all seem fine but it is still mising. i havent found any oil leaks so that may have been a fluke but the mising is driving me crazy
