I run to the ignition and as i turn off the car i notice NO oil pressure 
I open the hood and oil all over the passenger side of the motor.
The turbo oil feed line ruptured at the back of the head where it goes through the steel clamp.
Got the car home and put a rubber high pressure oil line on it with double clamps for now and filled with oil, all is good.
where can i get that steel line from?
Dealer only?

Wow! Just out of curiosity, how thick-walled is the turbo oil line? Mine vibrates around, and shows some wear near the metal loop on the intake manifold that holds it in place. Looks like maybe there was a rubber grommet in there back in the day.
