Loss of power / misfire

Guys,
On the way home tonight as I was driving away from a roundabout my bugeye wrx lost complete power. To the point I had to put full throttle on just to pull away and I mean a very slow pull away!
Everytime I slowed down the car wanted to stall and the engine sounded very rough similar to a misfire. I managed to get it home 2 miles drive and I noticed there was a burning oil type smell.
Anyone else had similar probs? Could it be coils, maf etc?
My last question is that I bought the car from a dealer just over 2 months ago and I know the car comes with standard trade 3 month warranty. Do you think it would cover such probs? Maybe I should find out the prob then contact them?
Cheers

Tensioners are very important to scoob engines!
I hope its not your tensioner, cos even if you got away without damaging something else, a new belt and tensioner fitted will be about 300-350 quid!
Just had mine done at scoobyclinic last wednesday!
How many miles has she done, is she due a cambelt?
