The coolant lines running to the tubocharger have copper crush washers that act as gaskets.

These crush washers are not reusable and should be replaced any time the line is removed.

If you are experiencing a leak from one of these lines, simply replace the crush washers that seal them.

ALL crush washers are new.its NOT leaking at the tubo but were the turbo gets the coolant from.

Is this a hardline or a rubber line? If it's rubber make sure there isn't a pinhole in the line itself and that the clamp is placed on enough of the hardline to make up the connection.

Otherwise I'd check for cracks in the hardline from road debris or such. I've seen stranger things happen. Also check your crush washers, they should look something like:

head of banjo bolt | crushwasher | hardline "O" | crushwasher | turbo

its coming from the hard line were it connects with the main feed.
