Scheduled it with NW Imports in Austin for yesterday, took it in and waited while they diagnosed it. Took a bit, but turned out to be the AOS (air oil separator.) Picked it up this morning, tab was right at $869. (Previous owner had replaced the AOS in 2010, at 101K miles. This one failed right at 114K.) Hope I get more miles out of the new one than that!

That might be an indication of a ovality issue. If you lose another AOS in short order
I would then get a leak down and compression check done.
BTW, that's a pretty hefty bill for an AOS -- the part is only about ~$100.
PM me offline and I'll hook you up with my mechanic.
