This movement is taken up by oil when the car is running.If it's horizontal play then you may have an issue with the core and bearings.

Anybody think I should be worried?? I cleaned the turbo oil filter supply thingy successfully only because of all the information available. But I'm paranoid now after seeing that little score that things are gunna turn ugly..
