Intermittently during acceleration and during no acceleration an embarrassing haze of smoke can be seen in the rear view mirror. This in conjunction with a strangled sometimes hesitant and jerky feeling when lightly accelerating. Coasting usually fine but can still have haze being emitted. Occasionally this also means the 'Engine Service Urgent' code appears.
I'll details what the mechanic found and hopefully someone can piece together the clues and give a second opinion.
Stored Codes :
6805 - Boost Pressure Regulation - Incorrect Flow intermittent
130C (might not be C but that's how it's written) - Mass Airflow Sensor Invalid Signal - Intermittent.
Here's the notes from the invoice. (My notes in brackets)
Investigated further.
Removed engine under tray and found exhaust bracket laying on it.
Front exhaust catalyst DPF pipe split at flexible joint (I didn't think it had a DPF but anyway)
Major Oil leaks from engine (not sure where these are coming from and it hadn't seemed to be using oil so surprised these classed as major)
So my question is - Will sorting the exhaust probably sort the smoke issue and the codes that it's causing or is there likely to be more issues than that and not worth getting into it. If it would sort how much should I expect to pay to get the exhaust sorted.
Thanks in advance for any help.

If it is the 163 hp - (black cover) it will not have the DPF (particulate filter).
153K is nothing for these engines - my 2002 Auto V70 has 231K and just went through the MOT with flying colors.
Try this - go out when there's not much traffic and do an Italian tune up and see what happens. Cleaning the ERG should be your next - and check for split pipes to the Turbo as suggested.
My V70 had the turbo replaced at 150K (b4 me) and now 80K miles later the engine is as smooth and powerful as new - maybe more. On the road it usually returns 55+ mpg.
Like someone said - this car is a known entity - getting a new one means starting from scratch - for me that means a cam belt (unless PROOF of recent one), oil and filter change ( SHELL ULTRA 5-40 & LIQUI MOLY CERATEC) a transmission dump with Lubeguard Red = pretty decent sum of money but then I have a baseline.
I just bought a 2005 XC70 auto with the 163 engine. I was told it had an oil change two weeks ago - I will still do one as mentioned above. The geartronic transmission is ultra smooth and works perfectly but the transmission fluid is pretty dark (not smelling) so I'lll do a transmission dump with Lubeguard Red.
Cheap insurance compared to buying another one..
