performance issue maybe Oli leak related
Afternoon All
A few days a go I noticed an oil leak and I can't seem to think of where it's coming from I also can't help thinking it's linked to a check light thats popped up on my I drive saying increased emissions.
The car is very laggy since this has happened and theres quite a bit of black smoke when my foot goes down, sometime the car goes into a complete limp mode and has no boost at all.
Your help would be appreciated

Don't worry about the oil right now, go get the codes read. An autozone will do, just to narrow it down. Sounds like catalytic converter which would likely be an O2 sensor. The oil leak is more than likely not related to performance issues. These cars leak ALL the time.

I don't have a cat or dpf, as they've been mapped out. I will get the codes looked at soon.
