There was no noticeable oil in the coolant that I saw. Is there any way of testing either the cooler or turbo while the engine is apart?
Also is it worth putting in a new oil pump while I have it apart or is there a good Chance this one is Still good?
And I really appreciate all the advice, this is a whole area that I don't have alot of knowledge in.k
The oil cooler can be pressure tested while you have it off the motor. A simple test is to put a small amount of pressure, about 20 psig on the cooler while under water and look for any leaks. Any radiator shop can perform this test! Sorta like looking for a leak in an tire or inner tube. But if you found no oil in the coolant, it probably rules out a leak in the oil cooler. That amount of oil loss would be very evident in the cooling system!!!
As to the turbo, other than having a turbo shop check it, you can feel the shaft for any noticeable lateral or radial movement, there should be very, very little play in the bearings either way. If you are not sure, find and take to a turbo shop and let them check it for you. Also, if you pull the charge air cooler and it has a bunch of oil in it, that would probably point to a failed turbo seal. You cannot chance another loss of oil event after rebuilding your engine!
As to the oil pump, it probably is ok, it just simply ran out of oil on the suction side due to low sump level. I would closely inspect it while you got the motor apart and check the internals for any noticeable wear or scoring...
