Default Coolant leak when cold only
Seems to leak on the left side and only when cold

Could it be the water pump?

Cooling water to the turbo?

Thermal expansion seals the leak when hot?

I think turbo cooling is on the other side. Car does not overheat at all.

Yeah they are but a great engine with no turbo lag. That was a real accomplishment for the year. A true sleeper.
