Muffler leaking oil....

Tow in. Guy was towing at night. Turbo went. No oil in engine. Added 10qts, got it started for a minute or so. Surprisingly it didn't sound too bad. 04 with 185K on the clock. We're going to install a new turbo and hope for the best so he can get home. Part should be in so I'm off to work on my day off to get this guy heading home. Wonder if it will live???

Cross your fingers. If it wasn't knocking when it was shut down it may be okay. With 185K it has a much better chance of surviving than a fresh (tight) engine would.
