massive gash in one of the intercooler pipes and a load of oil leaking out of said gash which suggests the turbo might be toast.
Charge air coolers are prone to blowing the bottom seal out. They are just pressed plastic. A long afternoon job to change. Everyone i've seen shows oil blowing out. Rarely turbo.

If thats the one on Gumtree don't bother looking. I went the other day, Its now got 190k on the clock but its in Limp mode with a massive gash in one of the intercooler pipes and a load of oil leaking out of said gash which suggests the turbo might be toast. I made him what I think is a decent offer above scrap value as I want the towbar and some parts off it but the guy is a tool. Still has it listed as great runner.
