Extremely sluggish under load......... 700 1987

These symptoms sound like a knock sensor failure. Ignition will retard to a safety level if control unit senses faulty signal. Your car has limited self diagnostics in the ignition system only, archives here may have info regarding testing, or have your mechanic check it. Requires a special LED diode test light to be connected to test terminal and a flash code read after fault occurs and before ignition switched off.
Would have little relation to oil leak.
