Possible blown head gasket or coolant leak... help
Well I installed my new o2 housing last week and I took the turbo off of the car, since the turbo and o2 was put back on I have been smelling coolant from under the hood, today once I got home I checked it out and found this looks like coolant being sprayed al to the right side of the motor and on the battery, on the intake pipe etc...
The car runs fine, pulls hard as always, doesn't appear to be any white smoke, and the coolant resorvoir doesn't appear to be mixed with oil
I started the car and let it idle while checking the engine out and found no leaks or anything, could the coolant be leaking out of one of the lines just under pressure or boost or what??
Thanks here are some pics to hopefully help

if thats the case ^^^ your lucky last weekend my car overheated and to make a long story short i replaced the radiator , t-stat and now a new head gasket its about time to go big since im in there
Matt, there was a recall out on the 05's for that top coolant line being bad. Mine mushroomed out and had tiny pin holes all in it after like 900 miles. I'd bet yours is beginning to do the same and leaking under boost.
