Ok before anyone says anything I DID do a search and couldn't find anything at all. Here is the issue. The car is a SR20DET redtop in an S13 and it runs fine but underneath the turbo it's leaking a lot of coolant. I can't tell where exactly it's coming from when I'm underneath the car but it's definitely the turbo. Is there anything under there coolant related that would go bad?

Depends, did you ever remove your turbo?

The coolant sources on the turbo side are: Coolant feed line to the turbo behind the engine from the intake manifold. Heater core lines depending on how they were routed. Coolant return line from the turbo. Upper waterneck and air bleeder screw.

the hard lines which hookup on the sides of the turbo are the coolant ones. the ones on the top and bottom are for oil. one of the bolts which hold the lines on may have come loose possibly or one of the lines may have a kink in it if you've taken off your manifold/turbo recently.

might want to just try and see if the bolts need to be tightened.
