i had pulled my engine, done a balance shaft elimination kit and new gaskets and replaced all hoses and what not. got the engine back in the car and it would not start. i then when about tring to figure things out and i drained the oil and found antifreeze mixed in with it. before pulling it i checked the oil for antifreeze and it had none. i cannot figure out how it was possible for it mix. just need some advice if anyone knows why this is occuring. thankyou

Thats usually a leak from the headgasket.
 
Probably blown head gascket. Did you resurface the head before putting it back on or making sure it wasnt warped?
 
dont believe it is the oil filter housing..
however, my turbo has shaft play and it may be shot.
could a seal being broke or something breaking and going through it cause the antifreeze to go down through the oil return line? i believe this may be the issue just wondering if these seems right to you guys? because when i pulld the return line off it had antifreeze in it, as well as my compressor housing and what not
