Default 306 Turbo diesel issues

on the front of the intercooler there are 2 dropbrackets, that hold the intercool on the inlet, to seal it, now i'm sure i'm loosing boost through as one bracket has broken

even though i bought a new rubber seal at the back, i'm pretty sure i'm not getting a full seal

would this cause me to have fueling issue, i.e. i have black smoke when driving, quite essesively

Possibly as it may be throwing in more fuel top accomodete the boost but isn't actually getting the boost due to the leak so is just over-fuelling.

That said 306 dt's were always a bit smokey.
