OK, not one of my best ideas but then again, how would an old fuel filter be causing oil in the air intake system then?  :wink:

The only other places I can think it could be coming from is the turbo oil seals or the breather pipe that cames from the rocker cover into the air intake pipe just to the rear of the air filter. On the latter, if oil vaper from the rocker cover is getting into the air intake then this may accumulate in the intercooler.  :?
Try removing and cleaning the breather filter, bolted onto the drivers side (RHD) of the rocker cover. It's a round black plastic thing with a pipe going into the bottom and another pipe going out of the rear and going round the back of the engine.

I was only being curious about the oil and EGR valve ole chap!

I didnt say an old fuel filter...

I said had it been changed recently.

Same here about the fuel filter, in case there was something I didn't know that could come in handy later. Didn't mean anything by it but I could have worded it differently.  :wink:
 
Your question did make me think about it a little deeper and realise that I was talking cr@p about EGR and that the more likely that the cause was the breathers.  
Blanking the EGR will reduce the nasty oily deposits in the intake manifold, not the intercooler, because you don't have any un-burnt fuel and exhaust fumes being pumped through there any more.  :D

budgie that thought had occured to me. thanks  :wink: i did have a problem from the breather pipes about two months ago, guessing that the stuff in there was left over and not fresh
sorted the valve clearances today, quite a way out and what an easy job, and it sounds less like a tractor now. took me an hour nice and slowly and enjoying the sunshine and too think the garage wanted an £190  :shock:
couple that with the intercooler clean loads more torque and certainly pulls better at low speed.
fuel filters are also to be done to make sure, thanks for all the tips so far guys
but..... and there always is, i think my viscous fan coupling is caput, seen better days  :(
the search is on for a replacement me thinks, also found the source of my coolant loss the legendry p gasket.  :evil:
why is there never any light at the end of the tunnel  :?  :lol:
ah the joy of owning a green oval  :wink:

Budgie:
Glad you got the valves done, it does make quite a difference if they've not been do in a while doesn't it!!  :D
