Icon4 Turbo b16a mess

long time viewer, first time poster... i just recently got back into hondas and this is my first turbo build. I have a turbo b16a , and i am seeing a bit of oil on the turbo manifold flange of cylinder one, and after warmup, have a water leak from the back of the motor (just replaced both o-rings on pipe from thermostat housing to water pump...also this is only occasionally?),odd blow off sounding flutter after releasing throttle (near no 1 cylinder), compression reads 170 across the board, currently no water/oil mixing, no CEL, water DRIPPING from thermal 3" exhaust at rear section muffler connection (at LCA) . i dont have access to leak down test, are these symptoms possibly related? i am curious if i can test further at home.. ive been tirelessly searching the archives here for similar circumstances, and am having some difficulty being lead to help. thanks in advance! in case this helps, here is a list of what the engine consists of.

-Obd1 Jdm b16a
-Type R oil and water pump
-Apr head studs
-Cometic HG
-Gm 4bar MAP
-DSM440cc injectors
-Aem fuel rail
-Generic FPR NEW
-MSD 6AL with blaster ss coil
-Msd 10mm wires
-Innovative wideband O2
-.48ar 50trim t3t4 NEW
-Log manifold NEW
-38mm Waste gate 10psi NEW
-Ssqv bov
-Custom IC pipes NEW
-3inch downpipe w/ wrap
-1.5inch dump tube NEW
-3inch Thermal R&D exhaust
-3inch test pipe
-P28 chipped on Neptune

*i purchased a running (bust crusty/rusty) crx that this engine was in, and i made a few changes to the setup and reinstalled the ENTIRE drive train, ALL HARNESSES, fuel tank and pump, and all auxiliary systems, into a completely empty crx shell that had no wires whatsoever, but a great low miles body. i pulled the motor from the donor crx with turbo b16 but rust everywhere, after waking up to a huge coolant puddle after a light drive the night prior (hence the replacement water pipe orings).... i want to think its a HG issue but the comp numbers tell me otherwise? Im a rookie, any info is appreciated! thanks guys!
