...Firstly, turbos usually leak oil. If a turbo is leaking water the cartrige is craked. That means it requires replacement.
If the car has white exhaust and is genuinely water/coolant, you probably need a headgasket, although I had this problem and after replacing the clearly defective head gasket I found I also had a crack in the throttle body that was allowing water to enter the air/fuel mixture.
Typically a blown turbo on the exhaust side creates thick black smoke.
Best,
C
