Here are a few pics of Pat's car being diagnosed..

First we drained the oil through a strainer to see what material was found.. Then we dropped the sump plate looking for debris but only found some of the IMS bearing seal. This leads me to believe the IMS bearing is going, but is not the primary cause for the car coming to us with its issues.
More in the next post with more pics..
