Maybe Int. Shaft Bearing Failure

Sorry to here about your problem.
Sounds like possibly an Intermediate shaft. When it happened to my '03 at 27000kms. the engine didn't quit but when I stopped to check because of a change in engine tone I noticed it dumping oil on the road . The diagnosis was an int. shaft bearing failure which in turn cracked the housing, thus the oil loss.
The engine was replaced with an '04 but fortunately I had an extended warranty and extra lucky because I live 400kms from the nearest dealer and the trucking cost alone to and from was about AUD 2000.
Good Luck,
Glenn
