Can a buggered turbo mix oil and water?

Well, can it, the car (Audi 1.8 T sport) is mixing oil and water, but I took the head off tonight and it's fine? it doesn't overheat and runs fine too, How can you tell if the turbo's mixing oil and water?

not normally, but depends on turbo manufacturer, Garrett can't because of the way they are made
