Coolant on passenger side
There seemed to have been a coolant burst on my driver side. Looks like it came from the turbo area on the front lower passenger side of the engine. Any suggestions on what it could be and how to fix it?

You should warm your car up in the driveway, turn it off, and search for leaks (look AND listen).
Given your description and picture, I suggest you pay close attention to the coolant lines connecting the upper intake manifold and the turbocharger insulator.
If that's where your problem is, drain your coolant, remove the water pipe, and replace the gasket or, if your pipe has failed, the pipe and the gasket.
