Sounds like the classic upper intake manifold failure....better not drive it til you replace it...

He has a S1, not an S2

Still an intake problem, IMO. Wait for somebody with some more knowledge to chime in. I don't want to lead you on the wrong path .

pretty sure a car built in 1999 does not have a series 1

and yes it sounds like an intake failure...

drain the oil ASAP
