Not until the engine starts ingesting it's own oil. Usually the bearings leak for a while before the engine runs away, but unfortuantely most people don't notice until it is too late. It is also possible it is the oil feed pipe to the Turbo. But as has been mentioned, you should also check the oil filters and cooler for leaks.

cheers lads found out it was turbo oil feed pipe
