I hate that my first post is asking a question, but it must be done.
I joined to kinda learn up on the competition, and because I secretly like LB7s and LBZs lol. I'm 19 and in college, wasting money on a 6.0…
Question: I picked up an 09 LMM from our body shop and took it home. Stopped at my grandparents house for a while(maybe drove 9 miles). Decided to go eat with my mom, so we took the Dmax(until this next bit, it was WAY better than the 7.3 I had the night before lol) cranked it up and a cel was on. Thought nothing of it immediately, but I was gonna let my boss know after I got to the eatery. After driving a mile, I jokingly said "I hope it doesn't go into limp mode" aaaand it promptly lost power…started making this noise:

Any ideas guys? I don't know much about the Dmax platform(or engines in general, learning, slowly but surely) so I'm stumped. Boss thinks it's the turbo again, and I'm thinking the issue is the oil that should be feeding into the turbo. Oil pump failing maybe? I just noticed an oil spot when I moved it, supporting my theory(makes sense in my head at least…)
Thanks!
