They did at least have the courtesy to circle the problem.

I've just had terrible luck with medical bills/car problems/house problems in the past 18 months. God only knows how much I've spent.

In the old days it was possible to push some oil past the head gasket at maximum output. It didn’t do it at parked because it wasn’t using any power.
Since it’s a turbo I’m guessing it’s a tiny bit of lag in the spooling of the turbo. Asshats with diesels tune them to do that on purpose because they think it’s cool to “roll coal”. I can’t think of a dumber thing to do, but it happens.
Keep an eye on the things you said. Listen to the turbo when you pull onto the interstate (It will take power to do it, not just idle RPM). If it’s a good consistent whir, it’s good. If it sounds rough or inconsistent, drive it straight to the dealer.
My guess is it’s good.
Sorry to hear about your bad luck with bills.
