How do you fix this??? I've never seen this..

Well I believe I found my previous leak which was my turbo oil line going into the turbo's the fitting was finger loose...... so I tighten both sides up and test drove some smoke still came out but I believe its from residue build up from the 2 days. But now another problem came out while I was over looking the engine I attached a picture of the place and what it's on. Does anyone know how to fix this, I've never ran across this before nor seen it happen.

Looks to me like you could just change that sensor. First I'd pressure test it to make sure thats the only place its leaking and then change it.

Its a Coolant Level sensor

Do this: Squeeze you upper radiator hose and see if thats where it is coming from.

Happened to me. Its just plastic with a rubber gasket.
And call Ray Crowe.

And do not try to tighten it ,if it is cracked, it WILL get worse

not when its actually cracked. That would be like a thread sealer, good for threads not cracks. Especially when its on a sensor, your not even supposed to use teflon tape on sensors either anyways bud.

By a new one with the gasket

Drain the fluid a little so it's past the sensor ( when it's
Cold ),

tighten it or I would replace it with a new gasket !

It's the coolant level sensor, as said above. Do this:

1. Unplug the coolant level sensor.
2. Remove it with a wrench.
3. Check to see if the threads are broken.
4. If the threads aren't broken, then just replace the rubber washer, teflon tape the threads, and put it back in.
5. If it is cracked, order a new unit from Ray at Malloy Mazda.
