does it only do it from cold? if so it'll just be condensation (leaves a white stain down the fannymold)

if it's head gasket there will be other symptoms;

water/oil mixing
losing water
poor running

No its started losing water , and running abit shite.
Plus it is alot of water, to much for just condensation.
think I will have to do a block test, I just didn't know if it could be the turbo . Can they leak?
