It could be oil and not coolant. Have you looked at the oil hoses at all?

 

smells like coolent.. Also I now may know whats leaking... looks like white power ( as if something is dripping ) from one of the bolts on the hot side of the turbo..

 

If it is coolant check your upper turbo coolant hose. It could have busted and caused your leak.

 

removed the upper and it looks fine. the loweer I'll remove tomorrow.. but I think its still leaking out the bolt.. Im going to try to get a belt so I can run the car with out the water pump.. see what I can see then

 

any help?

 

umm... wouldn't running without a water pump completely toast your engine? I had smoke from the same area, but it was the coupler on the y-pipe to intercooler being loose and leaking a small amount of oil out on the turbo, or it could've been the pre-cat. my solution was new coupler and clamp, along with a DP.

 

Enttu..

Have enver run the car with out the water pump ( I ment to say smog pump )working.. I'll post a photo of the turbos for everyone to see. The problem is I smell the coolent. I see the wisp of steam but cant find the source.

I have some mods just didnt place them in my sig.
I like people to think my car is stock as its fun to have a sleeper.

Be safe
