just to let any one else know if they have the same problem, the oil build up is only after the intercooler not before (turbo side) and I have just read that there should be some oil build up anyways to stop parts rusting etc. I had cleaned the pipe leading up to the throttle body and its been about a week now that my dump valve has not spurted out oil all over my engine bay which hopefully suggests my turbo seals are ok. I will furthur investigate why my car is behaving like an oil despenser and post the results i get :thumbs:

sounds like turbo . if it was breathers it would normally do it when under load too. disconnet the breather pipe off the cam cover and bung the pipe up (the one between the cam cover and cold side of turbo . and put a make shift catch tank in (ie pop bottle) from the cam cover .. take it for a run and see if it cures it .. if not then id say its the turbo
