Pls help: RMS vs IMS failure?

Have a 2004 tiptronic Boxster S. 3 years ago (20k miles) engine was replaced due to a "sheared bolt". Now I just towed my car (30k miles) with the same symptoms to the garage and fear it is the same thing. Symptoms = thrashing noise (like tree branches wrapped around the axle) and all the oil just poured out the car like a spigot. What are the RMS and IMS failures and which am I likely to have? Any tips on getting Porsche to replace the engine AGAIN (it's not under warranty now). I don't trust the dealer garage; it's with another mechanic for diagnosis now. Love my car, but this is too much!
