Default water smells of oil? cossie

as im having problems with my engine smoking on boost before i have the leak down test and turbo sent off id thought id check a few things

just took the cap off the header tank to notice the water looks black

i dont know if this is becuase its hard to se eas its a alloy tank or not, so did a water change anyhow and it came out clear, so my antifreeze has gone somewhere as it should be blue surely

so thats done and it looks black again in the tank

i check my breather cathc tank as it looked like there was a little bit in it according to the sight glass so turned the nob to empty it and water came out of that

so

any ideas what the hell is going on with this nail of a car please as its causing me grief

the car runs faultless bar smokes on boost badly and smells of oil, also used another sump of oil in 2 days

it doesnt overheat, rusbetween half and 3/4 of the gauge, fans kick in and out, doesnt misfire or use water

im stuck now and dont know what to do
