On my home from work last night I noticed that it misfired at lower revs when pulling away.Was quite cold so thought nothing of it.Happened again under load at higher speed,then as i slowed to come into the 50km limit,near home,I noticed a little smoke from the bonnet vents.I stopped immediately and checked under the hood but it was too dark.
I drove the last few hundred metres home and parked in the garage.I noticed that the IC pipe that goes onto the turbo was loose,one bolt was gone and another was loose, the third was okay.There was also some oil there as well,which had apparently found its way to the exhaust manifold.
Question:should there be f´in oil there or wot?

there is usually a little oil in the intercooler if the clips are loose then its probably the oil dripping onto exhaust that is causing the smoke
