Default i have come to the conclusion that my car sucks

ok after a huge ordeal with my car in a shop about 3 months ago i got it back about a month and a half ago. Well it seems slow as **** and it had a skunk2 im put on. Now the cel light keeps comming on and it is leaking oil i take that back it is spewing oil from underneath the car. Before i got fucked by thrust motorsports this car ran perfect no problems. No i can't seem to get it fixed. What do you guys think the problem my be. also how do i check the code it is throwing. thanks had to vent even more.

theres two green plugs on the passenger side under the dash. use a paper clip to jump the plug with two wires on it. then turn the key to acc. and count the blinks of the cel.long blinks are worth 10 and short are worth 1. count them and then go herehttp://londonautoclub.kicks-***.org/html/Tech_Info/Honda_CEL_Codes.htm

Figure out where that oil leak is coming from, I think that would be top priority. What else has been done to it, what exactly is the set up?

You have to give more details, we don't even know what engine you are running, there could be a turbo involved, etc. Someone might be able to help, but you gotta give some more info.

i would suggest doing this **** yourself. stop wasting your money going to shops, unless you can find an experienced shop.

get a jack, jack up the car and get under there and find out where exactly the oil is coming from.....

i doubt an oil leak has something to do with cams and an IM, but get under there and tell us what you find

Sounds like this engine has been through hell, ever consider getting a new z6 swapped in, and possibly transferring all the upgrades you already have?

Maybe this problem is out of my league, but 2 bent valves and a broken cam seem like a big deal to me. I would be worried something else was knocked out of whack as a result.
