Omg, you might have seezed the engine mate? Or blown the turbo?

If i was you i would not start it. Your just gonna fook up the internals if there is no oil due to burst pipe. Replace the pipe and give it oil service should be ok. Any damage you will know about then :wink:

im not sure of exact location but he told me it was supposed to be a metal pipe, previous owner had put a rubber one on which burst, no oil in the engine caused the crankshaft to break.. so il be needing a whole new engine basically now.
