The oil smell can be common. Check the function of the PCV system.
If the car is popping, then it may be running a bit rich which can also explain the oil smell. Find out when the last full tuneup was and if it has been a while, perform one.
Is the car stock? If parts of the emissions system have been removed or bypassed the popping will be the result.

All the RX-7 tanks are baffled but if yours is sucking air under hard cornering, yours may have come loose.
