Your friends correct... All though it could be a factor of many things...Check the fuel pressure, pull injectors and check for damage, and check your plugs...If your plugs are fouled it mean it's not igniting the fuel mixture and unloading the unburt gas....

 

I am assuming you mean out the exhaust. Right?
Do a compression test then do it again with a little oil in there. See how your rings are doing.
Do you have to add a lot of oil often?
