So on friday i went to chipotle cause they were having some awesome deal and me and a friend were hungry so i had this FAT burrito but anyways.

I come out after eating and notice some fluid under my car. I back out and it seemed to be coolant that i was leaking. And sure enough i pop the hood and my coolant is below the "Low" line. So i had some in the back of the car filled up again.

About two hours later i had gotten home and my coolant was back down to low so i filled her up again. Now the turbo is water cooled i dont push the car i drive like a grandma at times. But im checking it out tomorrow morning i'll let y'all know what happens tomorrow.

Sounds like a decent leak. Hopefully it's just the water lines... I had to get the clamps pretty tight where theyrr tapped into the OEM coolant lines; I thought I clamped them tight initially but they were leaking.

You can see the all the tape around the line is pinkish which is the color of the coolant so im pretty sure that thats part of the leak.

Is that the line that's going into the turbo? A little disoriented from the pic.
