okay, got the oil leak fixed. had to replace the oil sensor for $95 bucks from the dealer and i added a o-ring to it but whiles i'm driving car starts to stall out for no particular reason and i have to put it in neutral and give it gas to prevent it from shutting off. I checked the plugs and plugs 2 and 4 were wet with oil, any ideas?

Do you not live in the US? $95 for the oil sensor? Should be like $12, if you live in the US.

Oil in the spark plug tubes means either the tubes are coming out, or the seals are bad. The valve cover will need to come off to either replace the seals or tap the tubes back in.

no darth i'm in the bahamas. Is it possible that the spark plug tube could be the cause of my sudden loss of power and random shut off's?

If the oil is filling the tube up enough, yes. It will cover the plug and wire and cause poor spark...
