Threw a flashing cel followed by loss in power, inability to go above 45, and a rough idle that settles but still bucks in park/neutral. Theres some fresh oil by the timing cover and around the turbo. Theres also a cv joint, steering rack, oil filter housing, and transmission +angle gear assembly in that area. Most of the fresh wet is passenger side and to the rear of the engine bay, but too dark and dirty to see clearly. Need to dig out the code scanner... and pray. Maybe look for a new car...

I’ll going to guess a turbo Subaru of some sort. Air leak post maf, something torn or cracked that opens under engine movement/throttle. Are a ll coils still secure in the plugs?

Don't drive it with a flashing CEL!

Flashing CEL is a misfire. First thing I would do is pull spark plugs to see how they look.
