Is there any way this could happen with out smoke coming from under the hood. What I mean could it come out of the exhaust instead from under the hood?

No. Dripping oil wouldn't cause smoke in the exhaust, though it may not mecessarily come from under the hood (out the hood scoop).

so who thinks the dealer would charge me to put a hose clamp on that thing???? lol

i would just change the hose, and put a clamp on, not trying to be a wise ***, i do not even have a turbo but, what the hell if it is a cheap fix, maybe get a stainless steel braideed one and use that, a 5 dollar problem turning into a milliion dollar disaster.
i have personally never seen it but what the helll do you have to lose. see if there is a better way to do it.

someone should take pics for the ones that dont know what we're talking about
if it even is possible to take a pic

qbbraveheart

damn it

well if it comes off and does something to the turbo its under warranty...i just dont want to get stuck on the side of the road because of an oil-related issue...and this wouldnt be the first time with me

Someone post a photo before this spirals out of control...

I guess the best way to do this is take it back to the dealer... if u still under warranty...
