87 300TDT Turbo spool up LOUD whine, engine runs but sluggish.
I have a 1987 300TDT with 119,000 original miles bought a year ago from the original owner. Yesterday while accelerating abruptly in traffic I heard a loud wind up sound (like the turbo was out of control), a loud "clink" sound from under the hood, and a puff of grey smoke followed- all within a 2 second range. The rest of the way home (about 8 miles) there was a lack of power and that same wind up sound- only in the range that the turbo would normally kick in: My question is of course... What is it and how to fix it? this is the 603 Diesel 3.0L 6cyl.

Alternator with new regulator/brushes cuts out at 3500 RPM
My alternator stoped generating (but no charge light while running) so I replaced the regulator/brushes with the kit available here.
Now, when I drive around with a volt meter attached to the battery, I see that the battery is being charged until the engine hits about 3700 RPM and doesn't resume charging until the RPM gets below 3400.
The cut-in and cut-out RPM remain the same reguardless of what gear the car is in (even Park) or what accessories are on or off (although this does affect the battery voltage a little).

rear engine oil leak
Hi:
Does anyone know if there is any seal other than rear engine seal between transmission housing and rear engine on 1987 300 turbo diesel. A mechanic shop has changed the rear engine seal on my car and still leaks and he claims it is coming from engine gasket or other seals in that area.
Thx,
Alan
