Lower intercooler pipe leaking coolant. Stop driving the car asap. Could be a few things. I'll post when I get home!

There's a good chance your turbo is leaking coolant into your intake system (lower IC pipe). As long as you stop driving the car ASAP, you may be lucky enough to simply swap in a good turbo or get your broken turbo rebuilt; this is assuming there isn't any engine damage due to the coolant getting into places it shouldn't.

If you absolutely have to drive, drive the car super easy; I wouldn't drive it however, until getting it figured out.

Is your inner-cooler full of coolant? -- and I hope you're talking about your lower IC pipe and not your lower radiator hose, because these are obviously two completely different situations.

Any strange driving conditions; does the engine run funny?

as far as i can tell no there isnt any in there it might be one off my water line hoses was to short and who ever put it on just cut it at a slant and strecthed as far as it could. so i am hoping that is the case and the coolant is just falling on the lower ic and it aborbsing it. as it is still the stock on there.

Clean the pipe and look for where it's coming from. If you had coolant leaking into the IC pipe through the turbo the. It would be in your oil unless it's leaking from the outside and dripping in though a coupler/clamp.

Get a new coolant hose where you cut it short as well just to be safe if it is t the problem.
