Possibly head gasket failure.
You need to do a compression test
You also are probably burning oil , check the level and don't let it fall too low or you could seize your engine

Think i have solved it.tried to put up ramps it just wouldnt move.removed exhaust clamp where new front pipe joins cat and seperated. though noisy it went up ramp.i think the sealant i put on the joints has blocked the cat.
