I've been driving my 1g for about a week now since we rebuilt the head and just today I noticed a slight coolant leak that I cannot pinpoint. Hopfully someone here has had a similar problem and can help out. When I pop the hood, I immediately notice coolant pooled up on top of the turbo. the leak is slow and I'm not overheating, yet, but I'm not sure where this could be coming from. The other issue is that this car hasn't been driven in probably 6 months or so, so I might need to replace some coolant pipes because of their age. If anyone knows anything, I'd appreciate it.
 
My guess would be that the water hose coming from the radiator has maybe a leak and its getting over there. Hope that helps. :(
 
I dont think that's the issue, but I'll have to check it later when the car cools down. Luckily it's not that bad of a leak so I can still drive it for now.
