Took car to dealership and they replaced VVT solenoids. Had no effect refused to reimburse for unnecessary parts. Took it to an independent garage and they repaired it. Judging by online complaints this issue is common to all GM 2.4 ecotech engines and most dealerships continue to replace VVT solenoids for the fix except it does not work. Enjoy driving the car when it is functioning properly but nervous that this issue recur.

Update from Aug 5, 2023: Update. Intake duct was also covered in oil on the inside.

EGR port was plugged requiring the removal of the intake manifold to clean it out.

Known issue by GM , there is a technical service bulletin explaining repair procedure but the dealership I went to clearly knew nothing about it.

My wife's Orlando has stalled suddenly 3 times in the last 1.5 years. Engine light comes on, then it starts to run rough, then stalls in gear. She has to put it in "park position", restart the engine, runs better but engine light stays on. Last year a GM mechanic took a quick look at it and told her he reset something but gave her no paperwork for it???? It happened again last night coming out of a parking lot which caused cars to swerve around her with horns blaring scaring the heck out of her. It's going in the GM shop Monday first thing.
