Hmm where would the oil be comin from if found in cooler and associated pipework?

out of the turbo seals.  A little is "normal" but a lot maybe not.

 

I'd also be looking at how clogged your EGR is, plus the throttle body & how much gunk is built up on the inlet valves.

 

Something along these lines wouldn't hurt.  You could try DIYing it with water & white spirit.

I noticed ages ago that the breather had a steady film of oil in it. Skoda said " they do breath heavy.. ill look into fitting one.. az I doubt it would be hugely expensive.. the turbo has bedn replaced within the last six months.. thanks for your thoughts.. my only worry is rings/ bore wear.. anything else I can deal with.. the resesrch ive done.. points in all directions inc injector pump/ lift pump.. over fueling . Valvd seals.. incorrect timing.. naff mapping following dpf delete.. etc etc.. its just z case of pin pointing it.. I could just book it in at a local specialist and hope ggey find the issue.. but ill faff around pestering people for now..:)
