but surely if the seals were gone it would always blue smoke?

The blue smoke has gone now, in the other thread I made, I mentioned the car had been stood a little while and then did a 200 mile round trip and it was fine then I went out a few days later and there was a bit of blue smoke on start up and then it went.....

I'm just experiencing a loss of power now and the car isn't boosting as much as it used to

As you suggest pull off the hoses and have a look for any tell tale sign of oil etc
