Coolant Leak

[moosey]

2003 Turbo coolant leaking in two spots, both from the left and right side of the eninige in front of the turbo drain plugs. Woke up and the coolant tank was empty, added 1 gallon of coolant and water and noticed large amounts of both water and coolant leaking from both sides of the engine and not the coolant tank itself. Could this be a water pump?

Check the coolant hose directly behind and below the intake on the driver side of the engine. I just had a coolant hose that kept popping out of the spring tension holder. Its a 30min job at most, remove the airbox and you will clearly see it under the intake hose. 1 spring clip on each side of the hose hold it in. YOu might have to get new spring clips if they have lsot their tension as well.

Im not sure about the right side, perhaps the water is from one side and flow to the right, removal of the airbox should give you a good view.

Hope this helps.

Deepblue thanks! but when I pour the coolant in i can see it coming out on both sides of the engine with 2 seperate puddles! Also they are in the exact same area.

I saw a turbo with these seals leaking. It is difficult to see but the location is on top of the engine aft section.
