coolant leak, need help ID source.. pics inside.
saw some coolant in this area of the engine bay. just plain green coolant. not mixed with oil or anything. havent noticed any white smoke to suggest a blown head gasket. or is it? the firs pic the righ side is mainly the battery and the picture is looking down. its the area immediately to the righ of the turbo, below the intake snorkel sitting on top of the transmission case/housing. upper rad hose and lower rad hose seem to be ok as far as i could inspect.

my suggestion is to start at the highest point, such as upper radaitor hose, and eliminate each coolant source as the leak. in the pictures it alost looks like a leak from the radaitor hose IMOP. its hard to tell without being at the vehicle. also try washing the engine bay really really good and drive down the road for a couple of minutes and then try looking for the leak.
you might be able to see the source better if u move some parts out of the way like the intake tube

Since you have a Red, you've recently messed with the turbo coolant lines so I would check those. In the pictures, it looks like maybe the rubber line isn't pushed on as far to the hard line as it used to be?
