In my current turbo setup if the oil pump fails oil will start to back up. It will then make its way past the turbo seals and you will see smoke coming out the exhaust. If you drive to long like that you will run the motor dry. That is why it comes with a warning buzzer to let you know the oil pump is not working properly. I think it has a pressure sensor between the turbo and oil pump and if it gets to high an audible buzzer goes off in the passenger compartment.
Does your kit have something similar?
Also, can you tap the back of the valve cover instead so you can't see the line up front? Or tap the pan above the oil level instead?
