Not really sure how running a car without a problem is risky.

Thanks for the clear up, now let me try to clear mine up.
The point I tried to make was that driving with CEL on after fixing it (wishin and hopin ig goes out) seems like russian roulette because there's no gaurantee what you did fixed it and it may be another problem with same code or a new problem with different code.
And if you do it 75 times, that's about 2500 miles with CEL on.

If you can't read and comprehend, take a little trip to disney.com ok? They have lots of pictures there.

Posting while drinking is similar to texting drunk - no need to be nasty.

While it looks like you cleaned up your MAF fine, I'd still be worried about why you're leaking/burning oil. I'd check the drain plug, then oil pan gasket, then the filter...then turn to bigger things like the turbo or turbo oil lines.
