yeah there is some shaft play, no side to side play, my oil drain is almost horizontal think this could have caused the problem?

Yep, sounds turbo ish to me. The oil drain being almost flat will cause the oil to back up in the line and it has to go somewhere.

I would take care of that first and see if the problem goes away after a few miles once it's had a chance to burn out whatever was left in there.

If not, then it is probably time to replace that thing.
