weird coolant leak

[lil corb]

so I put on my turbo back, and I start it to check for leaks. I then notice coolant dripping at a steady pace on top of my tranny where the VSS plugs in and it's dripping on crossmember. I checked to see where it's coming from today and I can see fluid where the heat hose, VSS, and ac lines touch. So I start it up again and feel where the heater hoses connects to firewall, but nothing. No coolant is leaking from there. Also it starts to idle surge until I see coolant dripping down. I need help fast as I am losing a lot. I don't think it's the heater hoses since I tried to feel for fluid but nothing untill it touches the VSS line. Need your guys opinions. thanks.

thanks

VSS?

Well, there are alot of places it could be leaking from above the tranny. Thermostat housing, turbo coolant lines where they connect to the thermostat housing, throttle body coolant lines, lower radiator hose...

get a flash light and check to see if its coming out of the headgasket. car will idle surge with a leaky headgasket. good luck..

If no coolant is getting to the throttle plate you will also get idle surge.
