Nope. My diagnosis, while wrong, led me to think the turbo seals had failed. Thus, no reason for a compression or leakdown test.

I think my next steps will be:
1) pull crossover and confirm integrity of turbo repair
2) if turbo is OK, I'll pull the turbo and exhaust manifold to inspect the exhaust ports for excessive oil.
3) 1f #1 comes up wet that pretty much points to a failed head gasket.

I'll reassess what I need to do at that point...I don't have a lot of spare time to mess with cars these days and may just sell it for parts or patch it up and flip it.
