Have seen just this in the 4 rings shop directly. 45 K leased car with a "owner" that thought warranty and lease = no worries or $ on oil changes. he drove it until the oil light would come on and then add some oil. Inside of the motor was hardened tar like skin on roofing tar like goo. Low oil pressure a CEL brought him in. $14K changed hands before he left.

FUMES!!!!! I thought you got the <read in extra girly voice> "platinum"??? So you chose the 991 over my bike? The bike would have made an even better story. Towing the cooled.
