Default I feel lucky.... When I started my Timing Belt replacement I found the Coolant Supply line.........

to the turbo was shot.

The entire hose was covered with burnt coolant. After removal (total bitch) I pressure tested at 15psi. Found the leak in the middle of the hose. In the last 6 months I have had to top off the coolant a couple times, but never saw any leakage.

This is what it looked like before removal:

After removal and cleaned up for pictures.
