I think my motor is roasted...

On Saturday I noticed my car making some bluish white smoke out of the exhaust. I obviously got concerned and took it easy on the car until I was able to take it to a shop to have it looked at. This morning I checked the oil and it was low but I hadn't gotten a low oil light. I bought a quart of oil.... then another.... then one more... it took 2.5 quarts of oil!!! Around noon I took it to Hills Garage (Frank from AAM). I had him look at the car and he saw the bluish smoke and said it didnt look good. He removed the plenum and found oil in the plenum and in the valley. He removed the spark plugs and they were really fouled. Did a compression test and came up with approx 155-160 instead of the 175 norm. Tonight as I was driving home with my girlfriend, my car started to shake and then it started sounding like a wrx with no cat! It was smoking, shaking, rumbling, and had no power! So now im trying to find my stock intake to put back on the car before I take it into the stealership. Luckily, my car is still under warranty. Has anyone else had this problem with an 04???

Not sure if its the same but it kinda sounds like that sticky thread at the top of the section.

Dam, Just be glad it's still under warranty, whatever it may be.

I'm thinking of getting an 04'...
