Oil in coolant no coolant in oil, where is it getting in?

[AWDlaserRS]

As stated in the title there is oil in the coolant and no coolant in the oil, this was with a new headgasket the head is off right now and I had it plained again. Is there anywhere else oil could be getting into the coolant? By the way the engine has the air cooled oil cooler so thats not a possibility. Oh and the oil pressure is good.

how is the condition of the turbo?
leaking seals may cause this perhaps.

check for play

Yeah I thought of this, I have the turbo out of the car right now too. Ive only pulled the hothalf off the turbo before to replace it with a non crcked one, Ive never completely disasembled it. Where are the turbo seals?

got www.vfaq.com
look under turbo

they have a sectoin on a rebuild. it shows step by step dissassemblage and lables all parts.
you cant replace the seals yourself, well you can buy a rebuild kit, for 125$ but you have to send it off to get it rebalenced, that cost like 200$ or so.

turbochargers.com charge 275$ for a complete rebuilt balence and everything, so its just as good to send it off.

Any other ideas about where where oil could be getting in the coolant? I want to know all the possibilities before I go ahead and reasemble the engine. Front cover maybe? or is that just oil galleys in there?

Check your oil cooler. If they're crushed, they tend to cause oil and coolant to mix.

Check out this topic for information on the cooler:

he said he's got an air oil cooler, so that can't be a possibility.

Well if it was the headgasket that should be fixed when I put it back together, however usually when you have a blown headgasket you will see coolant in the oil or coolant loss, or maybe steam in the exhaust. I had none of these symptoms. Basically just oil in the coolant. LordPaxin might be right about the turbo. I will have to look into it. Is their some way to test it?
