cylinder 1 messed up it has spark fuel and the piston goes up and sown i pulled the spark plug and it has compression when I fired it up . its leaking oil out the exhaust port cylinder 1 rings? or head gasket? or valve seals? sounds like a rod but it would still run that cylinder correct? heres a video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0o378YIjbU:banghead:
 
If your oil dipstick popped out and shot that much oil everywhere, is it possible that you ran it basically dry long enough to get a spun bearing? Are you certain you have a leak there, that there is not just alot of oil there because the dipstick is right beside it? You should definitely clean your engine... where is the noise coming from? Hard to tell from the video.

How much boost are you running? Stock motor?
 
If your car isn't tuned well and you are running very lean at WOT, I would say you melted a piston. I've done it before, the car sounded and ran like a lawnmower. Definitely do a real compression test and post the results.

cylinder one is where the noise is comming from it isn't firing so i am assuming its dead or the rings blew out or i melted it.

I blew a head gasket once had oil all over when i tried to start the car it would pop the dipstick out, when I took the head off I found the piston melted.
I'm in the process of tearing it down i can only work like 1-2 hours at a time so far ive got alot of it done. T belt is next to come off then the intake then the head. so i will find out. of course i will be doing a compression check to verify before I remove the head. I will take pics and post the results to show what not to do to your engine LOL. TUNING is important my BAD
