Default Massive Oil Loss

So was driving down the road, heading to a mountain to ski, no problems oil pressure fine, engine temp fine, and all of a sudden dead. absolutely. the electrical was on but nothing else. I stoped coasting and then got it to turn over and run maybe 100 feet in to a parking lot. it sounded like a diesel. once it got in it died again. wouldn't start again. i opened the hood. the area around the turbo was all wet and oily. i check the dip stick...nothing. i had checked my oil 2 days before and it was full. and i had not lost any sense i last changed it 2 months ago. I got it towed back to the house, the turbo is spinning fine, no play in the bearing. so i think its fine, i tried to start it again yesterday evening. it started and there was a there was a unhealthy squeak. any ideas...im going back out there to see what else i can find.

Default If you can remove hoses from oil cooler

without messing up treads on it,just bring both hoses with adapters from oil filter housing to your local hose/hydraulic shop they can make new ones same day most likely.Just had mine done in November and it cost me $130,comparing to new ones that are almost $500.
If you get used ones with oil cooler still on them,they are most likely corroded and will fail in couple of years if not sooner.

Hey Zepp, I've got a spare oil cooler if you're interested. Lines are in very good shape, car was from a low-corrosion area.

Good luck man!
