From what I've learned in my short time here, it would sound like probably the oil separator. And when the CEL blinks (Check Engine Light, commonly referred to on forums as CEL), do not drive the car.

It would be best to have it towed to a Porsche wrench to check it out.

AFAIK, replacing the oil separator isn't that difficult a job. If it's something else... I hope your friend has an extended warranty.
