Unhappy Oil leak behind the engine d40d

I am new to this so please bear with me.
I have just bought a volvo v40dse estate on a 2002 plate.
There is a lot of oil behind the engine block just below what I assume is the air intake.
It is the 1.9 turbo diesel Renault engine.
I have been reading the post on egr valves.
The large diameter pipe coming from the top of the intercooler is coated with wet oil and the hole above the egr valve where the throttle body joins is also gummed up with wet oil and carbon.
The car goes along and starts fine except for a bit of hesitation at around 2000 rpm the car seems to slightly speed up and then hold back but if you floor it then it goes fine.
Can anyone help me with where the oil is coming from and how it is getting into the intercooler and what I need to do to fix it.
And if possible what gaskets If any I would need If I have to remove the inlet manifold.
Thanks.
