After replacing and installing 2 turbos, since I thought the turbo was the issue.

Under the advisement of some great knowledgeable folks from the this forum, I removed the exhaust manifold to see if the ports were leaking to rule out the turbos were bad. Guess what!

After pulling it out, it appears that ports 1 - 3 were all filled with oil. So does this indicate a head gasket leak? Valve Leak? Both?

Is there any DIY links to how to do this?

Will I need to take the the head to a machine shop?

Also, since I am going to go through replacing the gasket, what else should I do in this area since I will have all the components off?

(Links to any replacing would be helpful)

Off the top of my head here is what I am thinking:

- Clean and Paint the Exhaust Manifold
- Replace Exhaust Gasket
- Replace the Valve Seals
- Replace the Glow Plugs
- Clean, paint and clean all over the area

Thank you all for your help and keeping my dream of running this car alive.
