No Power After 4k rpm
Well car started smoking from on oil leak. Havent been able to pinpoint the leak yet but i opened the hood and it was smoking out of the oil breather. I then pulled the dipstick to check the oil level which looked just a half a quart short and then the smoke started coming out the dipstick tube instead of the oil breather filter. I made a couple high rpms pulls to see if vtec hit to see if the oil pressure was ok. It hit vtec twice and then the third time i pulled past 4k it wouldnt go anywhere. It went from 4k to redline w/o making any power and this is the same with all the gears. Once it hit 3.5-4k it seems like it ran out of power. Now im definenly thinking the two are related but why would the oil be smoking out of the breather filter and the dipstick tube and i cant see an external leak anywhere. I thought it was my turbo spitting oil. Also, when hitting 3.5-4k when the turbo should be spooling when the car starts to go nowhere in the high rpm's, its not building any boost. I have no changed anything recently to the car. I'm headed out right now to change the oil.

btw its a b16a2 with only 3k on it. I also did a compression test about 2 months ago and everything looked like it should. Does it sound like the rings?
