halifax,
So I went to leave for work this morning and there was puddle of coolant under my car. I checked for leaks and couldnt find any so i started it up and nothing. After sitting for a bit I noticed it dripping between the cold and hot side of the turbo. I've pinpointed it to that fitting but I dont know how hard it is to fix or if it is even fixable. Any help would be great. I have attached a photo showing the spot where its leaking, its obviously not my turbo but it was the only pic online I could find of that fitting.

Or replace it w/ A/N fittings. The Military developed them for that exact reason. High reliability. I run them w/ my 30r with no leaks at all.
 
Ok, stupid question, is it safe to drive it like that? I have no tools and my mechanic lives about 50 minutes from my place. After driving it for about 10 minutes it smokes/steams really bad from leaking on the exhaust. I'm guessing its not good to have it leak on the turbo/exhaust since it may make it crack but I just thought i'd ask here.
