If anything it will be mixing oil and coolant.
I had a hybrid that did this although in my case it was a clear manufacturing fault of some muppet not sealing the oil chamber and water chambers from each other. If your secondhand unit is doing this I would hazard a guess the impact it suffered may have damaged the turbo internally.
The inlet side and exhaust housing should be salvagable but I wouldn't use the central cartridge again.

Also worth mentioning that if your oil and water has mixed you need to flush both systems out entirely until clean. Oil in the coolant is bad as it will damage seals, water in the oil is bad as it will corrode metal.
My experience of this was 'messy'.. NOT what you want to see after fitting a hybrid:
Which one is the coolant huh?
Took weeks to totally flush the coolant circuit:

oil in intercooler is related to turbo problems more likely (turbo seals, compressor side) not headgasket
