Looking for a diagnosis for my 900TC

Hi all,
I was driving my 1994 900 TC (auto) across town Saturday morning. It had to crank a few times to start. I had turned the key off an restarted. Still had to crank. I thought, oh well, only going a few miles. Got a few miles and all of a sudden a super loud backfire and the car sounds like a go cart (loud as can be), performance got weak. Drove it back home (more than a little embarrassed by the noise on a Saturday morning). It still starts (same as before, over cranking a bit). No smoke but the exhaust stinks like gasoline. The car was leaking oil before... imagine it still is. Th oil on the dipstick looks fine and the coolant looks normal too. Initially I thought head but I no evidence of that from my layman's review. Going on vacation (will be in Sweden, trying to stop in Trollhaten) in a couple weeks so I probably won't do anything until I get back but I am trying to gauge how big (read as expensive) a problem this is. This is my last (of 3) classic 900s I've owned so I'd like to keep it.
Thanks,
Andrew
