I had enough oil in the trunk to get the engine re-fired and headed to the next exit to get more oil. Luckily it did not hurt the motor.

So, the S hose is something that needs to be checked every oil change. As a matter of fact I need to change mine again.
oil dumping out of that hose right beside the rear wheel on any care would be a puckering experience, never mind a turbo.
