Default leaking head gasket?
i have a turbo h22 and i am getting coolant in my oil. the block seems to be flat as well as the head. is there anywhere else that thewater could be mixing in the oil? also the leak seems to get worse the more i drive it.

i dont have much knowledge on turbos but if its water and oil cooled then that could be your problem, other then that and the head gasket theres really no other place it can leak in

Pretty much. The water and oil jackets are completely separated.

You say your head and deck "seem to be flat," how did you determine this? One of them probably isn't flat enough.
