As far as I was aware just one I think, the other is oil.
It's really riling me now I'm goin away down brean end of next month and I can't keep having this problem especially with the kids in the car on the motorway. Where the hell can it be coming from??
Did pole investigate the leak, or did they just change the part as advised by your local garage?
To be honest I did say that that was the problem so that's what would of been changed I imagine. I'll give um a buzz in the morning, they're good lads down there.
So there would be two pipes underneath and one to the header tank on the top? Looking at the note I was given from my local garage it does say steel pipe so perhaps I've given them the wrong info then!

The turbo has 1 oil inlet/outlet so 2 in total and the same for water,directly on top of the turbo core is oil feed,direct at the bottom is oil return.
On the side of the core of the turbo[closest to the gearbox side] you will see 2 metal pipes coming off,the lower is the inlet for water and the upper the return to header tank,the inlet pipe comes off the core metal pipe with a rubber pipe that connects onto the metal pipe on the side of the head which has a copper o-ring either side of the banjo bolt that connects it to the head

So am I understanding this correctly? If the rubber part of the inlet pipe was changed it could be the metal part that's leaking?

Correct,it could be a split in the metal pipe[but I wouldn't think so] or it could be the copper o-rings which is my personal preference.
BUT with that said it could also be the crossover pipe on top of the block and rolling off the back of the block which would make it seem like a leak around the turbo area.
