it might not be a head gasket. I have seen where hitting the gas and white (maybe a bit of blue in there) is running rich. Sometimes the blue is almost impossible to see. So you may just be running rich. But like sebba said, check under the oil cap

Does the exhaust smell odd? Like... caramel-ish... I have no idea how to describe that smell...

it really sounds too me like you are running rich. I guess it could be the turbo. Check the shaft for any play in it. Or you might have the seals gone in the turbo.

The seals are gone... IMO.... It wouldnt hurt anything... but it may not be the best idea.

Dont put it on till you at least have some supporting mods like a fuel pump, and a boost controller. You could run it without it but then i wouldnt run more than like 12psi on it
