Help! Coolant leak at turbo

[wraith]

I've had the MRX turbo kit installed for about a month now (by someone else), and today I smelled coolant and saw something was dripping. After getting under the car, I found a leak from where I think is coming out of the turbo.

Do I need to tighten the blue nut or the wider super flat nut that seems to be sandwiched against some copper?

Then, how the hell do I get to the blue fitting? Seems like I need some special tool? I don't think I could get it with an open ended wrench between the hose coming out of it and zero clearance around it.

Flared line socket should work on that blue nut just look for -an sockets

Also those are copper crush washers.

Thanks, can coolant potentially leak out of both places?

Yes...coolant can leak out of either location. Hopefully for your sake its not the coolant line that cant be tightened unless the turbo comes back out.

A crows foot....I do believe crush washers need to be torqued between 95 and 120 inch pounds . It's not a whole lot. Maybe it got dirt in there somewhere and its having an issue sealing.

That tool makes sense, thanks I'll try it.

Mine is also leaking from the same location. Can you explain how you fixed it? Did you just tight blue nut and that fixed the leak?
