Jake - thanks for confirming I was in fact the only idiot there!
I didn't know really, it just made sense to me that the oil was sitting in the cat cells and possibly soaked the muffler's packing.
Oh I was also trying to show off my great (non-existent) Porsche Car technical skills in front of the girls around us
Not my 986 so I guess I have to apologize to my mate for being wrong. I'm also the one who forced/convinced him to get it towed :/ while everyone else was saying just don't push it and you can take it home slowly.
Argghhh (oops!)
