Coolant getting out
 
Ok, here' the problem.

It on ly occurs sometimes like last week when I last drove my RX. I drove it like 5 miles to friend, just drove it slowly warm and in the end I pushed it a bit harder.

Arrived at my friend and left the engine running for some time. Still sitting in the car I noticed some white fumes coming from under the hood, passengers side. i got out and smelled heated coolant fluid.

Next i opened the hood and checked for leaks (still fuming). So i noticed that the exhaust mnifold between the turbo's (looking between the rear turbo OEM intake hose and chassis) was a bit wet causing fumes due to the warm manifold.

I need to have a closer look at it when I take the intake hose of but the problem seems to be around the Y inlet tube.

Is there any coolant connection here? any info on early expiriences would be helpfull. i"ll try to take pictures when possible.

the turbo coolant line runs right around the area you're talking about. they tend to get a bit fragile when they're old, so might just need to get a new one and replace the clamps

Check your throttle body hoses as well.

Check the plastic cap on top of the water pump. Not the actual pressure cap but the plastic area around it. Mine leaks like a mad man. A new one is 30$ from Malloy I beleive.
