Suspected coolant leaker.

This is the part that I thought was leaking coolant. However it looks like the coolant is leaking from above. I will post a few more pictures.

That's the turbo oil cooler coolant line drain. It can leak, or the hoses can leak. Best to replace the hoses and check out why this drain is leaking. The hoses, exposed to oil, tend to rot away.

That would make sense since the turbo is new.

There is also a significant amount of coolant and oil above this outlet. The coolant looked like it streaming directly out of this outlet.

The driveway spot. There is an oil spot, it is very dark black. Above the oil spot is the partially dried coolant spot. I moved the car up a bit an hour before I snapped the picture so I could see what the fresh spots looked like (there isn't 2 oil leaks).

In this last picture it looks like there is a hose that has been sealed (blue RTV???). What is that hose and why would it have been sealed. This car is a complete mystery. I checked out thouroughly before I bought (was very cheap). I missed all this stuff. I guess I have a lot to learn, but I was originally expecting to replace the engine so I wasn't all that concerned with the minor leaky parts. I thought I might be able to use this engine for awhile while I save up for a good 93 plus 940 engine.
