OR it could be turbo leaking into coolant.

Please describe the "combustion gasses test", HOW it was performed, by whom, and WHAT the findings were.

Do you have any steam (white vapor) from the exhaust, and if so, under WHAT engine conditions?

Have you pressure tested the turbo coolant lines in each turbo?
Have you done EITHER a Leak-down Test or Compression test?
WHERE/from WHOM are you getting all the "doom & gloom" predictions of "massive engine failure"?

If it's THAT bad, WHY would you waste the time/money trying to rebuild THIS engine?
