Thats really not that bad of a price the dealer I knew wanted a 150 bucks to put an injector in (150 to pull the VC). Thats a pretty good deal since that is including the parts the UVCH + gasket is 250-300 bucks and GPs are around 50.

The turbo pedestal o-rings wouldnt do cause oil to be all over like that.

I dont know what could be leaking though.

Maybe one of the high pressure oil lines sprung a leak and is spraying oil all over.
