Default 1.8T Passat running on 1 less cyclinder

Driving along on the motorway yesterday @ 60mph, I heard light "pop" sound.
Since then, the engine light
is flashing on/off and cars is mis-firing, as though 1 of the spark plugs is
not firing. I also noticed a a small oil
leak on the drive today, it has never done that before ever. My usual garage
is unfortunately
closed until the new year.
It is 2002 model with 101,000 miles with full VW SH and cambelt was changed
last month.

If anybody has any ideas / similiar experience any suggestions greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,
Sukhi.
