But how is this cat supposed to catch all those pesky hydrocarbons with oil all over its paws? The cat may not be broke but it's surely gonna be letting some HCs slip thru its oily paws.

My plenum is leaking because of a warped intake, already did the hughes fix once with their gaskets and a second with felpro. Just gathering up my non existent funds to buy another intake. And how exactly do I go about "fixing o2 sensors?" Not sure why I would put new o2 in while im still burning oil, doesn't make much sense to me.

Oh well now that you mention that a second time, I'd say everything on your truck is fine. I'd blame the emissions tester or the test operator.

Not sure what more your looking for out of this. Emissions get created from the engine and filtered out thought catalyst. Either fix your lean condition or replace the catalyst.
