When you are doing the 'boost' leak test, pop the radiator cap, if its really bad, you'll notice bubbles in the fluid, then you know you have a blown headgasket.
Are you sure your not leaking out the intake manifold?
Where the motor is at in its revolution shouldn't matter for a boost leak test. The point is to pressurize the intercooler/intake system, post turbo, to help find leaks. If you are really worried about the motor, have a compression/leakdown test done. About the blown seal pressurizing the oil? Never heard of that one before. I would imagine the car would smoke really bad if that were the case.
