today i was doing a check up on my car. the car was completely cooled down but my radiator hoses were still swelled up so i opened the cap and oil squirted out everywhere. i check my engine oil level and it was not registering on the dipstick. one of my dsm friends said it might be a blown head gasket. another friend said it may be the lines mixed up. i have a thought that the seal in the turbo might be the one leaking is this common, what is it and how can i fix it

it could be a head gasket, are you blowing any smoke? What about compression in the cylinders, how are they?
 
no im not blowing any smoke and i checked my compression. the engine has 140psi in each cylinder. im doing a complete flush of my cooling system and changing my oil to see if it does it again. my friend also said something that the oil filter adapter has a coolant passage through it and if you tighten the oil filter on too much it can cause a break and that may be the area thats leaking the oil into the coolant
