Possible leaking of fluids from unknown area.

Situation: Thick fluid looks light brown( not sure if it is Oil or something else) sprayed from my turbo area where the coolent hose is.... Not sure what this is or why it happen..

Story behind it: I was at a light and was driving with a friend said he wanted to see how it feels to launch from a light Told him I'm not good at launching but I'll slow roll them GO!!! Well I didn't release the clutch fast enough RPM's shot up shifted and Felt like i lose all my power Car wouldn't really want to build boost for a second and was sluggish. Parked in a parking lot popped the hood and saw a small amount of fluid sprayed over my UICP and transmission and was Like WTF is this.... It was light brown in color... car idealed normally when we parked nothing seemed broken Anyone know what could have happened. And what the fluid could be from? Really would like to get this fixed. After i let the car relax for a bit not a full cool down She ran perfectly fine came into boost perfect not weird noise's... could it come from the intake?

Horrible timing for a leak. Showing off an evo and next thing you know..... Clamp all hoses that are boost related. This is my next 'mod' as well.

Turns out its coolent not oil..... Gotta bad gasket and missing bolts from where the turbo meets the mani.... Anyone got ideas where I should get some. Going replace all the hoses on the turbo with some night silicone ones.

STM has everything you could need and great prices as well. Better customer service than lancershop as well
