Most likely blocked engine breather filter.
Change it before it pressurises and does damage.
By removing the cap you are relieving the pressure.
It is located under the black cover near to the injectors.

Filters on ebay for about a £5.

Check for excess oil in the intercooler pipes. Some is usual, but excess could be turbo seals.
Turbo seals are put under pressure by blocked breather, so could be connected yes.

Do the easy (filter) first, hopefully will be sorted!! Also worth changing turbo vent filter, a couple of quid. It hangs down behind the oil filler cap on one pipe.
