Shortly afterwards the crew noticed the oil pressure for the left hand engine was fluctuating and detected a higher than normal engine temperature. The crew declared PAN PAN, decided to return to Lake City Gateway and kept the left hand engine at idle until after landing. After safe landing the left engine was shut down. Emergency services inspected the aircraft and reported oil leaking from the left hand engine.
