Okay, so my mate took ma fab for its MOT last week and came back with some pictures and informed me i had a oil leak from my turbo. Anyone any idea what could be the cause of this?

Hi.

It depends where it is leaking from.

I think a little leak from the feed pipes is fairly common.

Looks to be where the boost pipe goes onto the turbo pal...

Ah right.

Could be it needs a new rubber seal and perhaps new clip.

Both of which are very cheap from the dealers. Access is a little awkward though.

Anybody else any ideas?

That looks fairly standard to me. Not seen many without oil in the pipes. Your join might need some attention to seal it but doesnt look a problem. Someone else may be able to shed more light

my idea is just get a new bend on it and clamp it on with proper hose clamp? ya think this could possible sort out the oil round the blower?

possibly, lots of fabia owners have issues with split/loose/leaky boost pipes so its not major

and that would cause the car to loose power top end??

after tryin keep up with ma mates nova van i had a bit of smoke from the bonnet which i can only guess it was oil on the turbo getting hot as engine temp was normall

quite possibly
