No, not at all. With the turbos being rear mounted, they are right before the exhaust pipes. So the oil went straight out the tail pipes like I was crop dusting or something. Possibly oil went up the intake pipes, but won't know until Greg looks at it. Bummer of it is that STS only covers the part itself, and not any of the collateral damage.
There is supposed to be an alarm that goes off when something happens to the oil pump, but that never went off at all. Something wrong there too, apparently. I could have been oblivious to the problem entirely until my crankcase drained of oil completely. If I had been cruising down 75, this could have happened VERY quickly and then I would have had REAL problems.
