All these ideas...

Following along, but this happened more or less suddenly. And the tail pipe stinks... Does it smell like gasoline or smell rich, or does it if fact smell like oil? Does the oil on the dipstick smell of gasoline??

Reason i ask, you made some comments about it running poorly and hunting, etc. With the smell - especially if it were fuel smell - I'd be wanting to do a leak down test. If you have a leaking injector, then some fuel may be washing down into the crankcase diluting/thinning the oil considerably, AND it would likely cause some rough running AND some stinking exhaust...

Just a thought.
