Coolant leaking from turbo

[Drifte]

i have a terrible leak on my turbo. I think it shte front coolant line, but i have tried like 4 different copper fittings and none of them will seal. It looks like it amy be coming from the compressor side of the turbo itself. I just got my engine back together, i dont need this now

*also my transfer case seems to be leaking fluid at the drive shaft...wtf?

mine leaked too, i took a lil bit of silicone sealer and wiped it on the threads of the banjo bolt and on the washers. dont get too much on where it will clogg the hole.

if you tried changing the copper washers already, then you'll need to take the whole turbo off and check it really carefully just to make sure iss indeed your turbo housing whats leaking, wich personally I kinda doubt, but dont dispair, it may be the coolant feed line...

goooo, im goin on month 6 without my car. could gas or oil deteriorate the gaskets inside the turbo? im figure thats a big OF COURSE, but just need to check.

how would gas get in your turbo? but the oring seals do dry out and get brittle and break from heat. but that would cause it to leak oil, not coolant. maby theres a crack in the cooling passage of the turbo.

well i cleaned it in a sulvent tank, so i figure i must have ruined the damn seals. great, how much is a turbo gasket kit gonna run me?

any info on the transfer case? i mean, i think its just the seal where the drive shaft foes in maybe? is that covered by the recall, i dont fully understand that. oh, and is my driveshaft supposed to like click into place? or does it pretty much sit their.
