On a 35 mile trip, had to stop 4 times to refill the coolant resevoir, and within 5 miles, it was empty again, needing refilled. There was a light oily-type film in the water in the resevoir, but that was grayish in nature, and the coolant vapor from the resevoir smells like fuel-rich exhaust vapor out of tailpipe. Could this be an issue with the turbo since I have seen a little water bubbling up at the joint of the exhaust manifold/Turbo when it is first started. Could the water be passing reverse, through the turbo into the muffler/catalytic converter and evaporating from there? I placed white paper behind exhaust but saw that is appeared dry and not stained with oil or anything. PLease help.. this is really stressful
thanks
