IT should still be covered under warranty though.

The recall is on the turbo coolant hose which i think its in the front. The coolant was leaking on the passenger side when we tried refilling it back up. I dont think its the recall and i think its something else. I just called the dealer and they still havent gotten to my car and its been there since yesterday at 6pm

On another note, I did check the oil and did not find any traces of coolant in it.The coolant and water was leakin from the passenger side and not from the head, so this might be a good sign that the head gasket wasnt blown

I would bet that it's the freeze plug for the number 1 cylinder on the back side of the block. There are 4 plugs on front and 4 on the back. If you reach around under the intake manifold, you can feel the plugs.

it was the head gasket that made it pop out!your cylinder pressure skyrocketed and sent a little pressure into your coolant system. I would suggest keeping an eye on your overflow and think about a new gasket and arp's in the near future or it will happen again. mine popped out, but i was lucky enough to find it so i put it back in with some JBWeld. Well after about a thousand miles the seal in the pump blew out cuz of the headgasket seeping under boost.
