water leak

I was going to suggest the crush washers on the turbos. Do you have a cooling system pressure tester? THose things are invaluable.... Pressurize the system and look for the leaks. I did one N/A and found like 5 little leaks and one or two BIG ones.... someone had tightened the hose clamp on the thin copper heatercore lines WAY to tight... it was leaking so they tightened it morem it kept leaking and they kept tigheneing until the thing was the shape of a "D"
