Could be leaking intercooler they can fatigue most I have seen are around the top intercooler tank
also the intercooler gaskets are metal so can be re used if the cooler has been off but can leak afterwards
and lastly the hose to the throttle body can leak too
these motors encounter a fair bit of blow by so they get a good coat of oil in the intake

leaking cooler weather it be gasket, hose or fracture
Will cost you some efficiently but not a show stopper
personally I would look to find the leak and address it.

Yes I will consider looking into new injectors and bit of a rebuild for her 300k mark just so she can go another 300(fingers crossed) and no I don't know any tuners yet I live up in the cape and the nearest place to go to is cairns sadly...
