You got a ton of fuel smelling stuff pouring out the centre section of your exhaust, yes, id say you got plenty to worry about, and not just a blowing exhaust

Running on 3 and now its pouring out the exhaust sounds like one of the injectors has failed wide open and is just pumping for gold.
Injector, plugs, and oil change at very minimum (and fix the exhaust leak ), just hope you not washed the bore too badly, or damaged the rings or bearings because of all the fuel.
Hopefully not too bad.
I was trying to stay positive and hoped it may be nothing to worry about.

Its injector 4 giving me gyp, I swapped 2 and 4 and its still number 4 missing. Had wiring checked and its ok, getting a lend of another ECU with stage 3 chip tommorow to try and eliminate that problem. Its not looking good for me, Im sure Im cursed against these cars.
