Hi
I recently purchased this FL and am progressing through some checks. It has the EGR blanking plate, which I removed and noted that there was residual oil in the silicon hoses and manifold. Hopefully the pics load, just wondering if this looks Excessive. Also on the back firewall anatomically left of And below brake fluid reservoir is a rubber hose not connected to anything, I assume it's not the turbo vent as there is another with what looks like a fuel filter connected on one side. Can anyone tell me if this should be connected to something please.

Doesn't look that bad mate. Turbo shaft floats on/in oil a bit so some always gets in. Does the car drive well and does it use any oil? If yes and no just give it a clean and don't worry to much.

Plenty of other issues await you I'm sure

Thanks for the pictures for dummies reply, I'll get onto that.
And yes the car runs well when warm it just doesn't have as smooth an idle as I would expect. The inlet manifold looked like it had some oily gunge in the bottom but otherwise on the exterior it's all good. Cheers.

Could be your injectors are starting to age, get some injector cleaner through
