If its the one I'm thinking of it's the coolant feed line for the turbo, coming from the side of the engine (lower intake manifold I think), down to the passenger side of the turbo's center housing.
It attaches to the turbo with a banjo bolt, so you might just need a new crush washer for that. you don't need to the pull the turbo off to work on this.

the one on the bottom??
if I remember right, there is the turbo, a gasket, an adapter then a hose that goes back into water pump housing. hose would be my #1 suspect. unless you had like no antifreeze in system and something froze/cracked. I would try to not pull off turbo if at all possible...
