carlisle, cubria
had my car serviced 3 week ago. noticed a smell of buring oil so check level and had put to much in. took car back and told wasnt too much but took some out anyway(why take out if not to much). after 3 week still a smell and last 4 days turbo started makin a awful noise. could this be due to too much oil flooding the turbo? what sort of price would i be lookin at for a new turbo and radiator?/

Dont think having a little bit to much oil in could damage the turbo, as the turbo is oil pressure fed and its only the bearings in the turbo that get oil. What model of car you driving?
