Oil feed line (to the turbo)get it fixed before driving or starting it. Also check the oil and replace it before you drive/start it.

You probably hit the starter with the wrench ...

ya hit the starter, sparks went every and there was a flame thats what probably messed up the pipe.

Do you think the starter might be messed up?

i wouldnt think because it has a heat shield around it but you never know.
