I just posted in your thread in GC but I'll ask here as well, does your engine use a lot of oil?
If so, get a compression test done! Mine does, so I suspect it's either the valve stem oil seals or the piston rings...
I'd get a compression test done on mine but I CBA at the moment!

For the record when my cat was FUBAR'd they gutted the inside of it for me until I was able to afford a new one, with the gutted cat (basically same as decat really), I always used to smell petrol fumes, but no real difference in performance.

my x14xe has never used any oil. level never drops, change it every 5k, had headgasket done cos a tiny bit of coolant was getting in 4th pot, done 74k but before/after headgasket its still never burnt oil!
