The oil seems to be comeing from the top inter cooler hose and dripping out from there, maybe the seal in the turbo is nackerd and allowing oil through there ?? there is also oil blowing out of the blow off balve....... and the water is only coming from the over flow hose from the ast, so there are no broken hoses, it could be that the filler cap and or ast cap have worn and lost the spring pressure allowing the water out???? i will keep looking thanks for your help man much appreicated

Oil in the charge pipes usually means you have a bad turbo - the dynamic oil seal is probably shot, you're more than likely going to need a rebuild.

Get the STANT cap for the AST (if you have an aftermarket one).

get the coolant filler neck cap from mazda (think its $14).
