losing power when warmed up

Hoping we could get some ideas what can cause my bongo to lose power when she's warm. Going up hill feels like she wont make it. She's a 2.5l diesel auto. Getting a little smoke, hot smell but not overheating, losing coolant.

i would check the fuel filter and banjo filter in the pump, any idea when the filters were changed/cleaned.

you could remove the air filter,as its overdue a service see if this helps.

lift drivers seat,the barrel shapped drum in front of you,low down, (if its a diesel).
three clips on the top,lift off the top.remove large filter, replace the top carefully.
then take it for a spin to test.
itl be ok for a short time,but not for ever??.

NB - What about that small pipe that can come off the turbo? Is that worth checking maybe (although why power loss only when hot I'm not so sure)?
