Help tracking a coolant line?!?!?!?! PLS?!?!?!?

Today ive noticed that there is a lil smoke like water burning with heat coming out around where efini pipe goes, under there or near that area. Ive talked to a couple of people and everyone seem to answer realy fast "its little coolant line that feed the the turbos. is about 6 inches or so and is hidden under there."
Ive taken the efini pipe out, the intake piping and just about most of the piping that runs around that area and i can seem to locate it. .....Where in the world is it???????
I dont want to take more things apart so if anyone can tell me or help me locate it minimizing the amount of things i remove to avoid hazzle i would appreciate it,

PICTURES WOULD HELP

Just about everyone that ive asked seemed to know which line i was talking about because they said is a common line that cracks on FDs after years of usage, yet nobody was able to help me trace it, So if anyone has pictures or is good with words, i would appreciate the hep to try to track down that line.

Thanks
Saul V

pull the air pump. It's the only way to see the upper coolant line.

Yep, once the air pump is off everything becomes much easier to see & work on.
