How can you pull the turbo without removing the high pressure oil line (Top one)? Either the banjo or the compression coupler 6" or so down the line has to be opened. The later is the one that cracks. It is probably one of those causing the oil in the heat shield. Neither is likely to spray and

The lower oil hose just needs the spring clips. It is a large diameter, low pressure hose. Just have to make sure it really goes a ways over the bulges/barbs on the hard lines and is clamped. Screw clamps are overkill and probably even more of a pain than the spring clips.

You may have somehow cracked the housing on the turbo for the coolant symptoms you describe.
