I was driving this morning and noticed that instead of whistling my turbo had started clicking (like a card in bicycle spokes) when I accelerated once the turbo was already spooled up. Once I got to the house I looked under the hood and oil was coming out all around the turbo. After it sat for a couple hours, there was a descent sized puddle of oil under the truck and when I moved it around to the back of the house I could here the wheel turning any time it even started to turn and I'm pretty sure it's bone dry. I don't know much about these trucks, where does the oil in the turbo come from? I do have oil in the engine. My truck is a 1995 powerstroke 5 speed with k&n cold air, 3" down pipe and I run the edge programmer on the high setting, any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm a long ways from home right now. I think I have the right forum this time
 
And depending on what may be wrong, how much money is this going to be? Im going to have to take it to a shop, I'm in Fremont, OH right now

I agree sounds like your tubo bearing is gone. I wouldn't drive it no more till you get it fixed. If she grenades parts will go in the motor......Good luck.....
