probs means the oil seal in the turbo is gone and puttin oil in the pipework etc , how much is there

The most obvious problem is probably your crankcase ventilation system causing the oil in the intercooler. If not serviced already I would do a complete PCV change and good service.

the turbo will be blowing it thro the system m8 , i think

volvo intercoolers have a hole in them about 2mm to let oil drain out.... if its loosing that much i would definatly change the pcv system if it hasnt been done already or you may end up blowing your crank seal....
