Well , Yea it sucks, but I did a coolant system pressure test and it stayed at 19psi for 4 hours yesterday. So I am brainstorming the possibilities. The turbo I have is a Comp, it is water cooled so I am wondering can water get past some sort of seal and drain back into the oil pan? Has anyone EVER had this kind of problem with a water cooled turbo?
Thanks
 
no it cant be the turbo.
It could be a crack in the lifter valley that lets coolant into the oil sometimes.

The only way it could be the turbo is if the bearing cartridge is cracked, which is extremely rare.
