Leaks can be very small -- so it's possible that though the gasket looks okay (and how can it? see below) it was still permitting the mixing.
Regarding the "how can it" question: when you pull the head, it's going to leave behind some drips and goop. I've never seen a perfectly dry gasket for this reason, so that I don't know how you may have managed that.
Hopefully you are not the unlucky owner of a warped or cracked block; and you should have the head pressure tested to verify that it's not leaking somewhere too.
But the block and head on the 2.3s is pretty bulletproof. Can't remember the last time I heard of either of these items having problems, though it does happen.
I have definitely never heard of the turbo being a coolant/oil mixer, but I suppose that's possible too.
Just seems a lot more likely that it's the old gasket problem for you.
