A compression test might tell you whether the head gasket is sealing the cylinders, might not be from your description.

Also, it appears that the oil return tube from the turbo is not seated properly, and yes the exhaust connection does seem to be leaking.

Seems that the easiest thing to do is to give the car to me as I'm so polite that I'll even save you the trouble of driving it by picking it up.

Truthfully though, the exhaust and oil leak shouldn't be too difficult to straighten out, but I would be concerned that the head gasket or head might still be a problem. Monitor the oil and coolant level, and check for cross-contamination in both.
