Message	gasket. But the lack of water in the oil is not a guarantee that you don't have a blown HG. You mentioned a coolant leak above the turbo, no pressure in the coolant system, white(ish) smoke, and water coming out of the exhaust (which could be normal condensation BTW). All of those indications point can be symptoms of a blown HG. That's why I suggested doing a compression test to help pin point the problem.
