Hey guys, when I shut off my car it spits up about 10oz of coolant, but I'm not sure where its coming from, its not leaking from the water pump, it seems to be below that, behind one of the pulleys. Any Ideas?

One of my friends said it could be the water pump weep hole. Any thoughts on this?

That's quite a bit.... Car on jackstands and have a couple people looking.If it's up front the waterpump is your best bet.

Yes, I have a KA-T, but there are no Coolant lines running to my turbo. Just an Oil feed/Return

I had the same issues, if it's comming from the front of the engine bay, it's either the coolant hoses from the radiator to the engine block, or the waterpump. If you are loosing THAT much coolant, I'm almost positive it's your waterpump, as I had a VERY similar problem.

Hoses you should be able to see if it's wet though from leaking
