Flashing Cel light with a 1537 code...

[2002WRXSTi]

Yeah so anyway my car has been leaking trans fluid again but now I can't find where it is leaking it from? So along with having ATF stains all over the place and just turning 207k on the clock some tool pulls an illegal left hand turn in front of me in the rain.

Cuts across double yellow lines to turn into a bar and I hit his pass rear quarter. Mostly just scraped up my bumper but it also made my HID go out. After that all of a sudden today it started to run super rough and the cell started flashing while I was driving. It went out, so I drove home and put my scanner on it and it came up with the 1537 cyl #4 missfire?

So now to diagnose WTF is this things major issue now

Unhook the coil if it doesnt change at all you need a coil, If it gets dramatically worse then just plugs, If plugs have never been done do them also.

If I unhook the coil I will have 4 misfires cause I don't have COP. I did the plugs when I got it so that was around 70k ago. I am thinking the thing is soaked with oil and how am I gonna get that oil out aside from changing valve cover gaskets?

You said it yourself, VC gaskets, Then blow out the oil and resume motorin.Oh and a new set of wires too. Un hook the wire at the coil while it is runnin and make sure you dont have a deadspot in the coil. My last coil that went had done this.
