Mega coolant leak (on turbo)

[smp3000]

Ok, I haven't been on here with a problem in forever- but it seems my luck has caught up with me.

I seem to have a pretty darn bad coolant leak coming from the underside of the turbo. At first I thought it was coming from one of the water lines, but it's not. It seems to be coming from the area right under the oil return line. There's a small monkey wrench nutt there- but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to try and loosen/tighten it or what?

Unless a miracle happens, it's looking like I'm going to have to take the turbo off completely. If anyone has any ideas please don't hesitate to post them here. I'll take some snap-shots of the area and post the pics ehre as well.

You can esi;ly get at that area of the turbo by unbolting the top left of the radiator and pulling out the passanger side fan. With that out of the way you can easily adjust the wastegate or even get at the downpipe bolts alot easier. I did it to replace all of my hoses with Hose techniques water lines.

He's right! I do this all the time. With the BEGI off-road pipe, the space to work issue shoudn't be an issue.
