Have you disturbed anything recently?
Thanks but the MAF is fine. I've tied unplugging it and swapping it with one off my girlfriends 206 and it made no difference.

Remember the maf will be telling the ECU that there's more air going into the engine than reality if its leaking... The maps are pretty well calibrated as far as MAF goes...
Yep, pipes are original. Here's a better pic.

Looks original to me! But Dee's had the car from new so can confirm if they've been changed.
That short silicone will almost certainly be leaking though, the jubilee clips weaken, and then you strip them trying to tighten them if you're a heavy handed prat like me... You could clean up the area and check where any fresh oil comes from to be sure though, or use the soapy water method to check for leaks.
So, your saying the boost leak is from the joint rather than a split? I'll replace the clips with better quality Mikalor ones. Do you know what size clips I need. Servicebox say 50-70mm.
I thought the oil was coming from here.

Your MAF can be gone at 7 months, especially if its a non pug air filter.
Those boost pipes off the turbo look like they are leaking and if you are only getting 12 psi probably are considering the car should run 14-15 standard and 15-16 mapped.
I think it's boosting to around 16PSI but over 12PSI it starts to smoke. It's a genuine pug air filter. I've always bought genuine filters as I feel I'm saving on labour doing the work myself there no reason I should skimp on parts.
