coolant from exhaust mani/housing???

[elfili]

I've know that I have a minor crack in my exhaust housing (16G), as the wastegate flapper isnt completely shutting. Yesterday, I noticed that there are dry coolant spots coming out of the exhaust manifold and turbo exhaust housing connection. Is it possible that the crack in my exhaust housing could lead to a leak in the water/coolant passages in the turbo?
I'm dreading that it's a blown HG, but I havent overheated.
I've used the search option, but didnt find any conclusive evidence. I guess I'll find out when I remove the turbo, but before I do that, I just want to know if anyone has run into something similar.
Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem. I have the coolant spots, I have excessive pressure in my coolant, I just took the head off had it pressure tested and it was fine, put it back together,and the same thing. I'm guessing mine has to be either the block or the turbo.

My guess is you head gasket is toast for both of you. Are you burning coolent when its running?

Well I solved the pressure in the coolant. It was actually just the brand new thermostat I put in was stuck open. Damn thing was only a week old. I think I am just getting condensation on my manifold because there are no longer any signs of anything wrong. If I figure anything else out I'll let you know.
