Ok so I had to put new windshield washer fluid in the car today, since I was low and the idiot light flashed.
Anyways as I was filling it up, I noticed like a burn mark on the horn of my BOV. Turns out it was oil. Where is it coming from, and why? Also it isn't much, is it a problem?
Second, I smelled a strong smell of gas while driving. I don't know if it was me or the cars in front of me. But when I slowed down the smelled seemed to go away. Could I be running rich, or lean or whatever due to my new Speed Tuning upgrade? I will be putting higher octane gas in when I get low on the half tank of regular I have in there now.

you're running rich cause of the chip
wait a few weeks and see what happens
probably the lack of exhaust flow is straining the cat

What about the oil?
Could that be due to the EGR?
