2002 9-5 replaced turbo, but now I have an oil smell and the oil light and alarm come on after it warms up. Was told the oil smell should be from the turbo failure but why the oil light and alarm at low rpms?

Would suspect low oil level and/or low pressure. Have pressure checked with a mechanical guage

DID U CHECK ENGINE FOR SLUGDE, OIL PICKUP SCREEN MAY BE CLOGGED UP ALLOWING LIMITED AMOUNT OF OIL TO FLOW THROUGH ENGINE GALLIWAYS, THIS MAY BE THE CAUSE OF YOUR TURBO FAILURE TOO, REMOVE OIL PAN & CHECK, BEFORE U DAMAGE ENGINE INTERNALS. GOOD LUCK.
