Key Rotation

Hello new member and new owner of a 2003 Boxster S. I have been lurking the forums and also searching for a solution to my strange problem. I tried to start my car and the key spun 360 degrees several times. I read threads about the ignition switch but those who had problems with the key not moving or coming out. The steering wheel even locked when I was pushing the car off the main road. Luckily I was able to get the power on and was near a hill to pop start the Boxtser and make it home.

Any clues to what it might be? After I got home and garaged it I tried starting it again and it worked twice.

Side note I had an indy replace the IMS with the LN kit replace water pump and RMS. I notice now I and dripping oil but no white smoke at startup but I do smell oil burning when I park after driving. Checked oil and I seem to be losing oil also. I didn't have this problem before it went to shop. On the sheet they stated they used Leichtlauf ht 5w can I put Mobil 1 5w in so I can fill and take back to shop?

Otherwise I love the car, so much fun while even going for the shortest of drives.
