Check the valve cover for any cracks as it could be the issue with the oil and spark plugs. Get it changed if it's cracked, that will cause many a issues.

You can check my name to see the post I made in regards to changing this part. It took almost 10 years with no instructions on how to change it. Don't attempt it by yourself as there is many issues that you can run into but you could follow my post for a guide if you will, but there is a link to the INSA instruction.
Thank you for the replay! I checked valve cover looked ok and the only issue i see is gasket leak around the rear of the engine and top of it. Maybe thats the issue? Also how can i check if its in limp mode or not please? As it was driving completly fine
