Have you tried clearing the codes, as they could be old stuff that has been fixed

not a lot of people realise that after 20 ignitions any stored error codes are deleted...

You need to get a helper to jam the ring gear between the transmission and motor while you use a large ratchet to take the bolt off the balancer. Take the belt off first of course by pulling the slack off it on the tensioner. Then to get the balancer off you need a 3 jaw puller. A good quality one is needed as the balancers can be a complete barge to remove. The CAS is on the lower LH side of the motor. Take it out and unplug it. Do everything in reverse but if you can do the balancer bolt up with a rattle gun. Put a little bit of gear oil on the bolt thread too.

UM....while you was doing the oil change if there happened to be a rag anywhere near the intake, as soon as you start up...guess what happens next....blocked intake....the engine then sucks air from anywhere it can even the crankcase could be why theres oil in the plenum....worth a look check all your intake piping for a blockage....

To undo it's anti clock wise. Just like an ordinary bolt. It will be very tight and needs to be done up tight also, to about 100nm.
