Have you checked to see if oil is milky? Is oil level high or coolant level low. You could do a leakdown test, but I guess that's not 100% at picking up blown HGs. I had a coolant leak too, coming down the back of the engine. I was worried about a HG too, but found a small leaking line on top of the engine.
Maybe others who have blown a HG can chime in? Is a blown HG likely to cause an external leak, or do they generally leak internally, into the crank case.
 
I think the leak was from the valve to the heater core.
Turned the air on for the first time this summer that night.
No leaks the last couple days but all i've done is move the car around.
Any turbo doctors in the central indiana area?

Peace WildBill
