Last night I made a full throttle pull and noticed that I sprung a coolant leak somewhere near the turbos or behind the throttle body. It was dripping quite rapidly.

I took a lot of parts off today to get a better view hoping that it was just a busted coolant hose, but I can't make out where exactly the coolant leak is coming from. I need to get my car running by Monday for work if possible, so any help is greatly appreciated. Although there was some coolant buildup on the turbo coolant inlet rubber line, it didn't seem sizeable enough of a leak. This is what I am seeing:

If I were in your position I'd either buy new turbo coolant hoses from Malloy and get a ride for a couple days, or buy a couple of elbow hoses from the parts store and get busy.

The turbo coolant hose is only about 6" long correct? I removed the air pump and took the soft line off and it didn't look to be the culprit.

 

Less than that. I couldn't see either turbo coolant hose in your pics. Follow the round hard lines off of the turbos and the coolant hoses attach to that.

Thanks for the help Dave.

I definitely had a leak at one of the turbo coolant lines, but it's hard to tell if it was the main cause of the leak because all of the coolant was burned off. I ordered a bunch of parts and hoses I plan on replacing now.
