There are different conditions for a blown headgasket.

Once pressure enters the cooling system then leaks arise. When the gasket completely goes the oil and coolant can mix. You will smell, see everything.

It could be a simple leak, however, he stated pressure conditions(boost)

Head Gasket is a definite possibility...but i think the water pump deserves a closer look. I had a leak for awhile and i checked everything and couldnt determine where it was coming from over the course of a month. It would only leak after being run for a certain amount of time and i could have sworn it wasnt the water pump. Changed the water pump....leak gone. Like i said it could be the head gasket but make sure at least 90% confident before you go getting into something. Arps and a gasket wouldnt be a bad idea at your mileage anyway tho.

im not Set on the head gasket either im still gonna look around for a leak, another buddy of mine also said it might be the heater core because they can actually leak in the firewall and that would explain why the is no coolant anywere in the Engin bay, idk still waitng to hear back from the Dealership but its like their trying to ignor me, but thanks for all the advice

On my 93 tsi awd I had this exact issue. Turned out to be a heater hose heading back toward the firewall (frayed where the hose clamp held it down). I'd stop speculating and put it on jack stands - you'll see where the drip is coming from. Good luck!

Well i just got the car back from the dealership, they checked it and said they couldnt find a coolant leak, but there was a small drip from the trasfercase, that dont make sense to me tho, is the fluid in the trasfercase Green????? i never seen it green but they said they tightened the bolts and it shouldnt leak anymore, IDK sounds a lil fishy to me
