Check the turbo coolant lines (easy). Next is the 90 deg hose from the hard line around the block to the bottom of the water neck...unfortunately, this is the more likely. If any of these lines pop, you will lose ALL of your coolant in a very short time.


agreed, been there done this, lol. had it pop, mmmm 10 sec TOPS and empty! lol. also the thrmostat housing where it bolts to the head can leak also. been there... had that :)

Its not a fast leak at all and its coming from under the water pump so unless there is a little hose around there its the water pump leaking right?

I can drive the car in the middle of the day still in arizona and not have any problems but anytime i stop i have to put about a 44oz cup of water in it

There are no leaks any higher then the water pump thats where the water seems to start at the bottom of the pump

Those 44 oz is gonna add up real quick, pretty soon your gonna have real weak anti freeeze ratio.

yea it could be the wp and sounds like it is, mt non turbo did that. drive to timbucktoo and back, as soon as it was turned off, let the piss fest begin. ither comin from the hole on the wp, or gasket. get that kit or a free way of doin it, jack it up, let it get hot, run it to like 3k for a minute, turn it off and look under the front. should be able to see something :)
wp is super easy to change
