Yeah, your breather in the rocker cover is blocked, replace it ASAP or you'll blow the turbo and possibly the engine.

Parts are only about £25 and will take 20 mins to replace.

Thanks for that but any idea why the filler had been drilled
 
It was drilled to let the engine breathe.

Put the old one back on till you get the new breather or you'll cause damage.

Here you, step by step instructions

1 remove engine cover (3 8mm bolts)
2 remove air filter cover (5 5mm allen bolts for the cover and 2 phillips screws for the pipe)
3 CAREFULLY remove the clips and return pipes off the tops of the injectors
4 undo 4 5 mm allen bolts and pull out the breather
5 replace the filter inside the housing and reassemble
