Driving to school this morning, it had been runnin for 5-10 mins, go to get on thru way shift from 2nd to 3rd aroun 4500 rpm, no loud noises just no power and really severe shaking when the turbo would normally spool. I drove it home later and took off a vacuum lines to see light yellow liquid/mush in there. The CEL is on and flashes while building boost. I don’t have a clue what happened. Any advice?

eww, like the kind that squirts out of the bottle if you don’t shake it first?  
yuck.

p.s.  
doesn’t CEL flashing = misfire?  
Or is that only on GM cars?

Ive been told misfire in one of the coils by three people now.

Any idea what it’s like to replace these?
