Steam coming for turbo area but cant fund the leak..

I have looked @ the front water hose (the one below the turbo) and I have looked at the front top hose.. It looks fine.. The steam seems to be coming from the front side so I have not looked at the back one. The funny thing is I don’t seem to be losing and antifreeze from the radiator.

Hope someone could point the fix out.. other wise Im not driving dusty to seven stock.

Well after almost a year of not driving my FD I finely took out my turbo’s. It was kind of sad.. A 50-cent part ended up costing me so much time and money. Anyway one of the copper seal started leaking on the water feed to the front turbo.

Heres some photos.. sorry the pics are big..

I have thesame thing going on. When i take the car for a quick turn around the block and leave it idling, there are slowly coming up some white fumes from the turbo area.
When I drive it for a longer time it doesn't.

Coolant is now stabile after I had the airpump off to change my belts. IBehind the airpump is a small coolant hose. i reset the clamp and it seemed to have effect.
Less to no fumes. The only thing no is that when i stop at a red light, I get some coolant smell in the car, which is making me nervous.

I will take out the airpump a soon as I can make time and have look at those coolant hoses towards the turbo again and replace them with new high temp ones.

hope it helps...
