did turbo removal and now coolant leak

I did a turbo removal since i busted 1 of my studs taking off my downpipesince the DP was cracked and broken..

Got new DP and WBO installed and flex joint installed.
got various new gaskets installed.

was missing some aluiminium cfrush washers for turbo coolant banjo bolt . could not find ay @ 7 stores... but Mazda trix had them.(16mm) I though that this was the issue of my leak but was not..

Pulled turbo again and check engine side banjo bolt and re-installed and filled coolant and still had leak.
found leaking on coolant return to waterpump so change 1 side of clamp and sitll ahd issue since i did not remove the other side.

Well i found a crack on the side that i did not remove of the coolant return line.
I was so pissed...

So now i can finish my fix and get back on the road.

will write a a tip sheet for turbo removal.
