coolant hose connection to the turbo. Since it's a slow leak, they recommended just driving on it until the leak is more pronounced. I guess that's better than throwing $2K to drop the engine just to replace a stupid .15c part.......

I just got mine repaired for the same problem. They changed a couple seals at the connection point behind the motor (near the firewall)... it's fine by now.

Just had a look...

I had a look at my service bill :

They did replace the seals / stuff and it took them 4.5 hours... So it may not cost too much, if you're not under warranty.
