need help identifying hose leaking coolant

[solardrgn]

ive got some pics of a hose thats leaking coolant. i have no idea what it is but i want to get it replaced asap. all i know is that it is on the passenger side of the engine and i guess under the turbo. its a 91 if that matters. i cant see what it goes to or where it comes from. heres the pics, i hope someone can help.

another angle

looks like turbo coolant line. what does it connect to? both ends of it...

The only hose over there that carries coolant is to the turbo. And as that isn't a stock turbo, it's highly unlikely that it's a stock hose, either.

two wastegate ports? what for?

i see..... yea its not stock, i just know its the HKS sport turbo upgrade, which came with the car when i bought it. it comes from or goes to some little pipe, picture here

but of course i dont know what that is either.......

That is definitely the turbo coolant lines.

You'll need to visit your local auto parts place and buy a length of hi temp coolant hose in the correct diameter, then cut it to fit. VERY hi temp, too, those run right beside the exhaust manifold, and it gets DAMN hot there. Explains the heat tape stuff that's wrapped around the existing hose.

You might try your local hydraulic line repair shop. They'll have a much better grade of hose, and it will withstand much higher temps.

would anyone know the diameter so i can take it to get done and have the parts at the same time?

i may be having a similar problem. My turbo is aftermarket as well. My coolant has been getting low very slowly, and i have topped it off twice soo that it could stay full. but just today i got back home from the store and coolant was leaking everywhere. My radiator light has been on too. ( Has your light come on?) Have you been expieriencing any turbo lag or the turbo kicking in late?

yes my light is on since its low in coolant. i havent really driven the car since its been leaking and i definately do spool when i do. you should let the car run to find the leak after its been warmed up and the coolant starts flowing
