turbo and intercooler oil leak again

Hi I`m not sure if I should start what isn`t really a new topic but as so many people seem to be speaking on the forum about this annoying problem I thought perhaps it would help other people to get their heads round this " standard fit problem " It seems that nearly every X-trail at one time or other is going to suffer from this drip. But do we worry too much this little oil leak ? as long as its not noticeably leaking enough to show on dip stick, is it a big problem ? give it a wipe once a week, you may get a little burning smell now and then live with it . There seems to be too much investigation into where the oil is leaking out of the intercooler why ? why try and stop it coming out when the problem is it shouldn`t be here in the first place . Even if your intercooler has a leak why pay a fortune to change it ? if there was no oil in there you wouldn`t change it , you wouldn`t even know it had a leak as nothing would leak out apart from a little slightly charged air.
surely if you can`t live with a little oil leak sort the oil leak first. Investigate where the oil is coming from ,its coming from the oil feed to the turbo charger , there is a turbo bearing lubcricated with engine oil and i think that you will find 90% of all the problems with the intercooler would be solved . But again you have to weight up whether the expense is worth it and of course if you can afford the cost of a new turbo !!!! look forward to hearing other peoples views on this ! cheers

This is the earlier replacement ...

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Upgraded-62m ... 890.l49292

And this is the latter ...

This seller ships to France. Both items are welded. The main difference is the core size, which is shown in the listings.
Thanks.
Seems to be the same part as other listed on e-bay. I am keen to buy in Europe as I don't want to pay VAT twice...
It is the same as other parts listed on Ebay. I provided links to this seller as they have both versions available, and also because I bought mine off them. I would rather pay 20% VAT on an item costing £90, than pay around £180 including VAT once.

I have asked if they have one available to ship from Europe. They are listed as being a German business.

No issues in fitting the ASI one? I have found one in Germany.

There is a possibility that you have the later, Euro 4 setup. If you post your VIN, I can look it up for you. The ASI one would be fine, but not sure if welded or crimped.

They are almost certainly Chinese in origin!

I have found images of the ASI model which is definitely welded.
