Coolant leak at turbo 2003 XC70

Where at the turbo is the leak. I’ve see. A one off on a Acura which uses a similar turbo develop a crack in the coolant jacket of the turbo. Head gasket sealer solved that one, and it’s still on the road a little over 2years now. Note, the glass type sealer is most compatible for this fix as it will react where the liquid leaks to the exterior air.

If hose/brake clean the area first and then identify the leak fully. Our leak was pretty severe, maybe 500ml for a 10 minute drive.

Does it leak when cold or hot, if hot then it’s normally more likely to be a seal that’s hard/bad from what I’ve experienced. If cold then you have an actual hole/failed seal.

Get a scope camera for cheap and try to id the exact leak. You likely don’t need a coolant pressure tester at this time.
