Unhappy Blown Head Gasket???? Need help

Yea my cars been smoking in idle for a while now...was told a new turbo should get rid of it...it didnt. so me being the only person who ever finds anything wrong on my car.. i decided to do some research and then address the problem. it lead me to find this...
not sure if you can see, the metallic looking, rubber feeling, what i beleive is my HG, which has literally melted away from its position...seeping thru to the outside...can this really happen or is this some sort of sealant that has given way....
