Seeing as how this turbo has been owned and abused by half of mitsustyle, I am going to asume it is the turbo and not the head gasket. Shit, at the very least this turbo could probably use a rebuild anyways just to freshen it up a bit.
You might consider just pulling the oil drain line off and make sure its not clogged at all. That could be causing you some issue or maybe have led to this.
