Bad turbo ?

So here is the deal with my talon. It has been burning oil and a bit of coolant lately, as well as puking coolant out the overflow on hot days also. Now to most this would sound like a headgasket or bad compression right off the bat, but this car has only about 4k miles on a fresh rebuild, has a cometic MLS headgasket with ARP headstuds, and 140-145-140-145 compression with 8.5:1 pistons.

Could this be the seals in the turbo going out?

-This is the Hahn Super 20G (TDO6H20G-TDO5H10cm2)
-this turbo is water and oil cooled
-turbo has had plenty of abuse by scheides, ecoli, and I believe Slowhite over the years.

I think that is about all.
