Driving home on the I-10 my 01 base Box lost power. I pushed the accelerator and it responded just not the way that it should...sluggish. I started to pull over and the CEL came on. I made it to the shoulder and the engine stopped. I called AAA. My Box was leaking oil...a lot. There was no warning. The engine just lost power...no noise, no rattle, no nothing. The odometer showed an onimous 129,666 miles.

Would a sudden RMS cause the engine to lose power? Or does this sound like an IMS?
