Massive Coolant Leak

Im new to the rx7, not familar with it at all so this maybe an obvious problem that Im not seeing. I have a essentialy a stock 94 rx7, 74k miles. only mods are exhaust and silicone vaccum lines.

Im leaking alot of coolant, When I pour water into the Filler ( with the engine cold) , within 5-7 seconds you can hear and see coolant ( not water) hitting the ground.

At first I thought a radiator hose blew.. but they are fine. I pulled the airfiter box and could see that it was leaking from somehwhere behind the Air Pump. I will most likely pull out the air pump ( doesn't look easy ) but before I do maybe some words of wisdom from you guys could save a lot of uneccessary work.

I've been seaching like crazy and reading the service manual. Trying to understand where the coolant flows to...do the turbos get coolant?

Thanks in advance

There are hard lines on the turbos that coolant hoses slip over. That area is close to where the coolant runs from below the coolant filler neck to the primary turbo. You can get a better look with the intake piping removed.
