2” circle towards rear of motor passenger side Oil on ground and crankcase dipstick says no oil
 
Things look grim........
Yep. No oil on the stick. A 2" puddle back into the pan wouldn't have helped!
Either the turbo pulled the oil out thru the tailpipe, or the oil was seriously low to begin with.
I vote low to begin with. A total turbo failure would have oil running out of it.
Furthermore, the back of the car would have been coated in oil.
I hope there's a sale on engine hoists...

Thanks for input - oil was at normal level before driving I checked and radiator was filled. Always told my sons make sure of two things oil and water levels before driving

So, just how many miles did you drive before this happened?
