with oil pressure running around 3 bar (45 psi) or thereabouts (not sure what it is on the 300Tdi - but not far off I'd think), if the seals were letting by, it would spray out at quite a rate....especially with a rotating shaft and impeller sucking it through too.....

Clean the hoses, fire her up and if they get a mist of oil straight off the bat, the seals are leaking.....hence why he says you need to rig up a 'catcher' to see how much is being spat out the turbo outlet into the induction pipes.

Yes, can do that. But James is interested in the breather pipe!

Manufacturers change to the following year in September, hence a September 1996 build would be a 1997 model year.
