Does the turbo engine even have the liquid to oil cooler? I think the external oil cooler lines attach to the adapter plate that fits in place of the oil cooler housing found on the NA engines, but it does have an o-ring that may fail the same way as the NA setups leak, but it usually leaks oil into the coolant instead.

The big problem here is that your oil system was circulating coolant for who knows how long, meaning there's no telling what kind of shape the bearings are in. They will most likely all need to be replaced just to be sure. I know that's what the factory manual specifies whenever coolant gets into the oil.
