Turbo/Head gasket?

Ok I am at my wits end... I replaced my head gasket, because it was leaking into the #3 cylender. I cleaned up all mating surfaces. Visually checked very carefully for any cracks and etc... I put everything back together and did the proper torque settings in the correct pattern. I have a white smoke coming out from my exhaust. Is this head or is it turbo? My car has 334,000 miles on it presently. The reason I ask about turbo is at times it got white marks on it. I also replaced my exhaust manifold because it also had a crack in it. The turbo presently seems to be leaking fluid (oil I guess because water would evaporate) where it bolts to the elbow that goes to the exhaust pipe. Seems like it is very hot, and it was always extremely hot in my opinion. I also seemed to notice a white looking smoke coming out the dipstick if I remove it.
Thoughts, suggestions?
