    There will always be a bit in there I'm mine has a small amount of the breather, but if the pipes are dripping with oil it may be time to look at renewing the pcv system, took the pipe off my throttle body when the engine came out the other week and look how clean it is after 9 months of use almost daily, no oil here

    As MoleT5-R says. You can also buy a can of Turbo cleaner car parts stockists and just spray it in, agitate with a stiff brush and spray again to clean it off.

    The plastic tube does go very brittle and this is what happened to mind when it was changed,undid the banjo bolt and it moved enough to snap off, so be very careful if you do try to remove the banjo bolt.

    The hole thing is silly money around £160 , all you would need is a bit of push fit air line when a get home later I will measure what size it is in side & outside diameter

    Not sure what year your car is as they say it's 2005- on with this part.

    Afaik if there's no smoke from the dipstick then the PVC breather system is ok so there's no need to try to remove the banjo bolt.
    Just because your turbo vain is a little dirty won't matter. Clean it with some carb cleaner if your that bothered but I wouldn't waste your time. It will be fine. It won't rob power or slow your car down.
