New plugs first. Then stick some of that redex in the tank and give it a thrash for 30 mins, lots of high revs, but wait untill its warmed up.

Immissions? Is that like an immersion?

If there's oil in the exhaust, and it's blowing blue, then the catalyst is almost certainly knackered. You need to get the oil issues sorted, THEN and only then get a new catalyst.

Take the cap off the coolant header tank. Any strange smell or signs of emulsion in there? If so, it could be head gasket failure.
