i've hit something in the road and lost oil presure due to a cracked brass fitting off the turbo, check all of your lines and change the oil left. Fire it up and hope for the best. If all sounds good i would change it shortly after that just incase.

I know to stop if i was leaking but, there was no place to pull over, which sucked and this may be a hidden blessing, if i have spun a bearing or something i have the money to order new internals which i will be doing this winter if i dont do it now so...idk...does anyone know of a way to tuck up the turbo in the rear?

Sometimes you have to loosen the bolts on the housing and turn it so it tucks up higher. Just make sure the oil supply and oil return are at noon and 6 so they work properly. Sometimes it takes some moving and adjusting, but it's worth it.
