I have a 87 supra.. I had a 7mge but a BHG forced me to do a swap.. I'm almost finished but I'm having an issue with coolant leaking on the turbo side. It seems to be right by the manifold towards the end of the engine but I'm not sure.. there's a hard line coming off the engine right by there that I was told to plug off.. I think its the issue.. I think the pressure is being redirected to come out by the manifold.. I'dplug it but I have no clue where to connect it to.. anyone ever had this problem? Screenshot_2013-10-09-20-46-03-1.png here's a picture.. the white piece is a plug.. when the plug is off coolant goes everywhere.. I'm thinking its causing my issue so I'd like to find out where it runs to

I had a coolant leak on my transmission bell housing and it was from the hose that connects to the back middle of the motor you can see it by following the spark plug gallery and the hose is right there sticking out. If you replaced the hose, you should have replaced every hose when you had the chance with the motor out, then odds are you didn't tighten it enough or depending on the clamps you are using you might have over tightened it and it's just enough to let coolant leak out. Try to look around with the water flowing and pin point the leak.
