If you mean the oil guage in the car thats oil pressure. If you have bben going by that to add oil STOP. look at the dip stick and see, I would drain it and put in 4.5-5 quarts of what ever oil is in it. As for the turbo does it look like theres oil around the turbo anywhere if the seals blew it could use lots of oil, does it smoke at all. does the turbo wine louder than most?? We need a little more info before we can help out more.
