You don't need to remove the turbo mate,it sounds like the orange/red plastic seal that connects the air intake pipe to the turbo is gone. It's only about £14 to buy at the dealership. Just unscrew the hose lip to remove the big black air intake pipe,you might need to I clip the MAF connections aswell x2 and the 2 hose clips that connect the air filter boxes. Very simple job to do. Then just clean the old oil thats leaking and reinstall
