My passat has 200k hard earned miles it ran fine one day the next it didnt want to rev up and oil was dripping out of the intercooler pipe. I took the hose from the airbox to the turbo off and no oil. But then the hose to the cross pipe probably had 4 or 5 ounces in it. Has anyone had any these issues.

Sounds like the center bearing might shot, bearings and or seals. Oil might actually be leaking into the exhaust of the turbo but when it spools up and pressurizes the oil can be pushed into the intake side.

Mine ran smooth, but it was very slow and you could hear the compressor blades scraping on the housing when it tried to make boost. It also smoked like crazy and used a lot of oil.

4-5 ounces? That's like half a cup! Have you ever had those hoses off before? It can accumulate from oil vapors, but not normally that much.
