Probably a split pipe. Check the big rubber one the comes from behind the engine over the top and to the intercooler in front of the radiator...

No, not that I'm aware. They're not under much stress and there's no problem with the oil system. It'll likely be a split pipe, but check the parts of the pipe you can't see - i.e. the underneath, as this is where my Xantia had split and it wasn't obvious at first. I looked everywhere, including getting under it and checking the pipes on the turbo. It was split on top of the engine, but on the underside of the pipe. It sounded very obvious when it whooshed - like someone was operating a massive fan behind the dashboard
