Coolant leak- oil cooler?

[Christophski]

Hey guys found the leak at last when I did the oil change. Basically I'm losing coolant and it's spraying the oil filter. It's from the unions. Is this the pipes for the oil cooler? Or is it pipes for something else? Anyone any ideas?

Thanks
Chris

Probably the turbo coolant pipes, the oil cooler has no water connection.

Aha, cool cheers bud. New pipes onto the list then. Anyone got any?

Both water lines to the turbo are metal and pricey. I have seen the lower one leak that connects to the core plug in the block under the exhaust manifold, i would check there first.

might be just a seal, dont rush into just replacing the hoses!

[Christophski]

So these pipes have seals??? How do I check if its the seals? And its definately from that area as there is dry ish crust around the edges of the pipe. Thing is I cant remember which one it is as I saw it a month or so ago when I was under there and have been busy trying to sort out other things and work atm.

As above, the only water lines in that area are for the turbo. The other thing to check, is the hose running from the water manifold to the turbo feed pipe - this can get in a terrible sate, leak and could run around the pipe to the area described.
