It was one of the 92´s from Bristow Norway.
Media reports the aircraft flew on one engine with heavy vibrations.

Happy ending :D

A loose bolt caused the oil leakage, engine going back to the US for closer inspection. This is by the way the S-92 with the most hours in the world :) Over 10000 hours since february 2005.

Over 10000 hours since february 2005.

Actually, it´s 10.000 hours since january 2006. If I remember correctly the aircraft (SN 920025) was delivered in november 2005 and started the contract for BP/Talisman 2. january 2006.
