what to look for after accident?

ok so i got brake checked 2 weeks ago on the freeway. ended up mounting a toyota tacome like a little pony. my truck is drivable, but i have a pinched oil cooler line and some bumper damage. when i get it all fixed from the inshurance of the other guy. what all should i make sure they check. i allready smell oil burning in the cab when i stop ( just a hint of odor) and also looked at the turbo and it has oil in it too! my truck right now is my only means to make money right now and dont need anything to fail down the line ( watch as i pull my hair out thinking about this) beleive it or not 14 years driving no accidents and one speeding ticket when i was 18. as always all comments and seggestions welcome and thanxs in advanced!

I've seen several trucks involved in accidents twist the shaft that comes out of the bottom of the steering box. Sometimes you can tell because the truck will turn sharper one direction than the other.

I'm thinking the return oil line from the turbo might have gotten pinched and is causing your oily turbo.
