mysterious coolant leak
When driving the car one day my father was following me he said he saw a puddle under the car every time I left a red light. But for some reason I can’t get it to leak here in the drive way. Also the more you use the turbo the quicker it looses coolant. It doesn’t get hot!! Let me repeat that, IT DOESN’T GET HOT, it’s just that the low coolant light comes on. I did find the water pump leaking and replaced that but the problem is still there.
What would cause this?

Check your hoses. I once had a hole in the line that ran from the engine to the heater core (on the driver's side) but it was so tiny I couldn't see it with my eye and it didn't leak at idle (not enough pressure.) When I stuck my head under the hood and twisted the throttle assembly (revving the motor) she started spewing. Leak found.

Theres a little 90 degree coolant hose under the TB.. Is it coming from there? You may not actually be able to see the hose, but look on top of the tranny area with a flashlight.
Also, look at your turbo coolant lines. If you still have stock airbox, you may need to remove it to see them.
