Smelling coolant in the engine bay, I poked around and noticed this last night. Wiped it dry and the puddle came back overnight. Single turbo setup, no coolant lines around that side of the engine (rear iron). Both water lines to the turbo are dry. Running Evans NPG+ with a 7psi cap, got a spare cap and going to try 0psi. Hoping less pressure and a few heat cycles will clear it up.

From what I read outer water jackets rarely go bad, the motor has very low miles on it <10k.

Could pull motor and re-torque the engine bolts. Not that it's what you want to hear.

Does any coolant come out of the exhaust? Have seen corrosion allow coolant into the exhaust ports.

Looks like the first picture link broke....


No coolant out of the exhaust from what I can tell; no white smoke, no sweet smell out of the exhaust.

Dave, that sound like a smart option... should I remove & reinstall the engine.

Over 2 days sitting, it made a 3" wide puddle underneath the car... drove it 10 miles last night with the 0psi cap & it seemed to dry up.... monitoring closely to see how much it weeps/if it comes back
