Running the Bobcat, no overheating, no signs anything was wrong and instantly it starts smoking and running bad and leaking oil. In the video is actually turned OFF and it's still running doing this...Any ideas what it could be? Did the engine just blow? https://youtu.be/qsOIz-0yjHo
 
My guess is turbo seal failure. Engine oil is pumped through turbo to lube it. If the seals fail, oil flows into the turbo and is mixed with air and pumped into the cylinders and burned.
That is why the engine will run without diesel.
 
That's the coolest thing I've seen all day! I agree, definitely the turbo and run away condition. Very hard on an engine and they don't usually make it out alive unfortunately.

All S150's with the Kubota V2003T are turbocharged.
My mistake, the S160s are turbo, I looked back at the video and noticed he was running a hammer, what happened is a hose on the hydraulic oil cooerl has blown off and pumping hydraulic oil into the intake tube.
