Unbelievably it's taken me until today to look at this - I have another car that I've been using and sorned the 306 when the tax ran out. Moving house hasn't helped either lol.
Anyway I took what I could apart in the spare half hour I had, there was a small amount of oil in the intercooler, not an unreasonable amount and about what I'd expect for an engine that age, probably a tablespoon or two. The pipe from the front of the intercooler down to the injector pump however was full of oil, I suspect it's the lowest point and acts as a bit of a drain.
I'm going to clean everything up as well as I can and see if that improves things, the D seal has a split in it too so that can't be helping matters.
The inlet manifold is full of shit (suspect from the EGR) so I want to get that off too and give it a bath, as I haven't got the manual for this car, can anyone tell me how it comes off? I could only see some big allen/torx head bolts that looked like head bolts. Once I've got the manifold off I can have a proper look at the turbo too, see if it has shit a seal.
