possibly head gasket. check coolant for bubbles while engine is running, or brown sludge from oil and check oil for milky appearance.

what about the oil in the intercooler.do I need to buy a new one or just clean it out somehow!
clean the inter-cooler outno big deal the bearings collapse in the turbo causing seal failureetc oil ends up every where making it look worse then it is. Don't run it like that you will be loosing oil pressure through the failed turbo which then causes big end knock
