You really weren't kidding in the title were you?
Well it is always possible your engine has multiple problems. You can only investigate and fix as you go. But don't worry, it'll be fine. Just start with the easy and free stuff that's why I said get it clean on the outside so you can hopefully spot the source of that black hot oil. Looking at it costs nothing.
Clean the air filter and see if it gets better, that's the next easiest thing and it's free too, also see if it stays clean or the problem comes back. Having the air filter blocked so the engine can't breathe and get oxygen would cause problems with combustion of the fuel so why even look at the cdi that can only be fixed with $$ do the easy and free things first.
Of course insulate your wires with some electrician's tape or whatever you like.
