If it spewed oil out and the engine didn't "run away" with itself then you might be lucky - it might be the seal on the exhaust side of the turbine housing, in this case there will be no engine damage.

This may the point that you can halve the bill by getting a reconditioned turbo fitted at an Indie. There's not re setting up to do as such, but the exhaust system does need to be taken off and drained/flushed out - it would be irresponsible to drive the car whilst it spews the remaining oil out onto the road for motorcyclists to find on a damp day...

This isn't such as bad job, but often the bolts have to be cut off. I would expect the dealer would replace with new, but I would block off one end of the exhaust, pour about 2 litres of neat gunk into it, invert it every 5 mins for around an hour and then flush with water. Do similar with lower volumes for the DPF & CAT.

But yes if the car is in otherwise good condition - definitely worth saving.
