after filling my rad up it turns brown pretty quickly I have flushed it several times so its not just rust its definitely oil! I’m thinking its either my head gasket or the turbo, is it possible for coolant and oil to mix with a blown turbo seal?

lol true say tearing it down right now will have the head sent in to get it leveled and checked for leaks. was just hoping it would be less serious
