Oil vapor condensing in the turbo hoses is very common

with older 240t's because of the blowby being taken in

via the flame trap. Axial play of the turbine shaft is

also part of the deal - there's always some.

This metal 'ting' might be your fan hitting the radiator,

or the fan shroud, so you might want to check that out.

Bottom line on the turbo is: the car has high mileage

and the turbo is due to give up the ghost if it's original.
