Question coolant leaking under turbo?

Hello
recently just started my fd for the first time since only about a month
and noticed a small puddle of coolant under the front right hand drive of the car (under turbo), after i let it warm up for a bit.
the leak is very slow and only leaks when the car is turned on.

no smoke coming from exhaust, no sweet smell from exhaust and car runs fine and idles fine,
heres a video of what I saw dripping down the car


so in the video, it might be hard to see, but its right under the turbo and the line right next to the turbo that is sitting snugged to it is the culprit maybe? or can it be something else?

this is my first coolant leak problem on my fd since a full rebuild 4 years ago so hoping its nothing too crazy.

also the fd is a single turbo + vmount set up

please give me any insight if you're able! Thank you!

Check the coolant line to the turbo. It looks like you have a single turbo and the drips are coming from the turbo housing.
