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.

Oil Lines: Well at first I thought it was the oil line you speak of, so i pulled my downpipe off and changed the spring clamps on the hose to screw-type pipe clamps to make sure they were secure. This, however did not solve the issue. The banjo fittings were never removed when i took the turbo out so those are secure as they were before. I have looked at the turbo with the heat shields off and no leaks or spray anywhere, even from underneath i cant see anything, the oil simply runs out from under the bottom heat shield on the uppipe
And the coolant thing... weird right? its obviously not the head gasket or anything becuase it would get burned up in my cat before it got to the turbo. I am wondering if anyone knows of an internal diagram for the TD04 turbo that would show me the coolant and oil passages within. I plan on pulling the turbo out anyways but it would still be helpful to know the internal structure of the turbo.
