Coolant on a turbo I found drops on the housing and burned coolent on the exhaust. Look like it was coming from a connection to the oil line but not sure. Is ther any coolent lines on top of the turbo I cant see or something. Also its leakin oil it looks. Sigh

Re: Coolant on a turbo You have me confused... Do you have a water cooled turbo? IF so you could have a leak. If not then it is coming from somewhere else.
How many hoses ( go to the center of the turbo, i mean oil lines. If the turbo is water cooled then it will have 4 going into the center of the turbo. if not only 2.
hope this helps

Re: Coolant on a turbo Thats most likely the problem. If you had a problem inside the turbo itself you would get coolant burning in the exhaust. I am pretty sure for that to happen there would have to be a crack in the CHRA itself.

Re: Coolant on a turbo Remember to take a look at where the heater line is cut for the feed/return of the coolant...it should be a T-fitting that is located to the rear of the motor on the passenger's side.

Re: Coolant on a turbo Yes the Incon kits have water cooled turbos. You have two connects on the sides of each turbo for cooling. The passenger side should have a banjo fitting so that the cooling can pass from one turbo to the other. So yes you could have a leak from one of fittings.

Re: Coolant on a turbo Ya it has a orange tint to it. Plus I cant use the a/c right now cause my rad isnt big enough to cool the engine with it on <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> .
