Car problems
Checked the oil level last night and it was still totally full (topped it off a week or so ago). However.
More stuff happening... as I leave work to go pick up some tasty Japanese food my CEL starts blinking. The CEL has been on for some time now due to a bad secondary o2 sensor but Ive never seen it blinking. Anyways it flashed a couple times on the way to the resturaunt but when I got back in the car it didnt flash anymore. So does that mean it has a new code on the computer or what?

I got CEL codes pulled and they are...
P1399 Manufacturer Contrl Ignition system or misfire
p0300 Random Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected
p0301 Cylinder 1 Misfire Detected
p0302 Cylinder 2 Misfire Detected
P0304 Cylinder 4 Misfire Detected
I ordered some NGK Plugs last night and they are here today and I also got some Mopar combustion chamber cleaner. The guy told me the plugs and or wires are bad and should be replaced as I am tonight. Will I be ok to drive this thing home?

The symptoms you descibe sounds exactly like a bad coil pack. I had this happen on my car (miata). I would definitely get it towed to a dealer to have them take a look at it. A blinking CEL is usually a very bad sign.
Ok, so I drove the car straight home last nightand put the new plugs in and the car runs SOOOOOO much better now. One thing of note tho is this... my old plugs shouldve been good for another 25k miles or so atleast. There was a signifigant amount of oil on the bottom on 3 of the plugs, im quite certain that this caused the premature life of my old plugs. Where would the leak be coming from, i was told the valve cover gasket would be the first place to check (will check when I do the valve adjustment) and that maybe next would be the valve seals. Where else should I look and what other possiblities are there?
Think I will be replacing my coil packs soon along with anything else with my ignition system as I am sure those parts got strained during this episode.
