    Exclamation Turbo Problems!

    Hey up Guys!
    Just wondering if you can help me out a bit? Story goes:
    I take my car to garage for Service/MOT.
    I dont drive car for two weeks after, when i do, there is an odd whiney noise (sounds like bearing or gearbox/differential whine) and quite a substantial oil leak!
    I take the car back to the garage to ask if they've failed to tighten the oil filter up properly (forgetting to mention the whine) The mechanic puts it on the ramp and says my turbo oil feed has gone - the one with the banjo bolt.
    He admitted they "may" have over filled the oil and the car is designed to lose the excess oil but it has lost it from the weakest point in the system.
    He then cleaned it up, said I cannot see the leak source (after me revving the car to 3.5k on the ramp) and come back in 7 days/500 miles (I was doing a drive to Brighton in it) to see if the oil feed is perished - he said it would not kill the turbo!

    I shall be taking it back on Monday to see his verdict - what should I be expecting? Can i replace just the pipe (if so how much/where from?) Or will it be proper turbo issues?

    Big thanks for any help!

    Mike

    If a turbo has lost oil feed it's normally goodnight Vienna :(
