My 5k is blowing gas and oil back into the air filter. What have I blown
up?

I thought a bit is normal (via the breather pipes), but I am not an
expert,

Tony,
Given the bare minimum info you have given us...like year, does it start,
run, turn over, flash codes, etc. etc. I'd have to say that you might have
a blown engine - busted valves and pistons allowing blowby and gas to enter
intake on compression stroke.
You might also have a rodent's nest in the tailpipe.

1987 Audi 5kTQ - no gas in air filter
1980 Audi 5k - ditto
1962 and '64 Auto Union DKW Junior deLuxes - had gas shooting out of carb -
then it fired out the dead mouse and nest from the rear muffler - now no
probs.

The car runs and tachs up fine. The gas milage sux. The power is fine
until I hit the slightest incline, then it barely goes. It does not
smoke unless revved high.

 

Losing power on hills is an indication of a fuel filter that needs
replacing on the four type 44 N/As that I have owned.
