Those are your issues my bet is you have O2 sensors causing you to be full rich, which is common when they go out. They will flood the pee out of your car.
change that oil fast and dont run until the codes are cleared. you are literally dumping fuel in your motor.

I think DiscoLife is on the right track. Bad O2's will run very rich, pull some plugs out and see what they look like. Also read O2 signals on the code reader at the parts house if you do not have one yourself. My local Advance Auto will let you use their code reader which also can read the live data from the O2's.
