alright here's how it goes: started car, oil pressure light stayed on...i heard a tick tick tick tick coming from the valve cover area..i was told to let the car to run for about 10 minutes...and it didn't overheat, i let it get up to normal temperature for a car..cut it off..noticed that either steam or smoke was coming from the heat shield at a decent pace. i got under the car and it looked to me as if it wasn't coming from the turbo..i couldn't see above the turbo or below the heat shield..please i need help...did i blow my turbo up? i need all the help/suggestions i can get!

I used a cup of oil and a paperclip. Just put it in there standing fully upright and keep pushing the paperclip all the way in, and then pull it all the way back out until you no longer see any bubbles leave from it.
