How can I tell if oil is in the coolant or the turbo seal has failed, will it be obvious? I'm going to have the dealer service department check it out when time permits, unless this will damage the engine then I'll make the time ASAP.

If oil is in the coolant it is obvious by looking, if the turbo seal is leaking, the oil should be seen out the tail pipe as blue-grey smoke.

If you are really losing a quart of oil in 5K miles i would get it fixed sooner rather than later, as the problem will only get worse.
