As soon as I connect intercooler to inlet manifold that oil is comeing outa exhaust looks like an oil tanker wreck.surely a blocked breather couldn't cause that much oil outa intercooler pipe I've taken it off is that 90 degree pipe where it goes to manifold an it's spewing a couple of litres even starting for a second

It sounds like a failure in the turbo oil seal. Don't attempt to run the engine, as a diesel can actually run on the oil, with no way to stop it screaming it's head off, until the end seizes, or the crankshaft fails.

It is strange that someone would join and ask a technical question.

Indeed.
Very odd on a CAR FORUM.

Hi and welcome. Sorry to hear of your plight. As Nodge68 says, sounds like a (very!) badly knackered turbo oil seal. It'll need fixing before you run it again, I'm afraid.

A good turbo will leak oil through a good seal with engine pressurisation.

So it may not 100% be the turbo....
