Oil lines...

1. It is a pain to reach once it is all back together, but you have to make the short low pressure rubber hose is on both the turbo and hard pipes at least an inch and the spring clamps are in place. It is easy to push the hose down when installing the turbo so the hard line on the turbo is really just barely in the top of the rubber hose.

2. High pressure top line: Make sure the banjo fitting has both top and bottom washer. depending on how your hard line looks, it may be cracked. The compression fitting on the side of the head is often the culprit. Either the seat itself, or the line itself at the back of the flange.

Coolant... That is weird. I do not think there is coolant anywhere near the shafts which should be the only way INTO the turbo housing itself and thus the downpipe.
