General Electric recently put out a notice about potential oil seal failure on the turbochargers on the railroad diesels. The seal fails and dumps the lube oil into the hot turbo. Instant RUNAWAY! In a 4500HP engine. And the lube oil sump holds 400 gallons or so. The show lasts a while. Oh, and the air inlets are pretty much inaccessible, and would probably take an oil drum lid to cover. I sort of don't want to see one, but i probably couldn't turn away if it happened in front of me.
