i have let my soarer sit in the garage for a few weeks now and have noticed ALL the coolant has leaked to the EXACT same place in my engine bay and then onto my garage floor.
i have tried to trace the leak several time but cant seem to see where it could possibly be coming from.
i have taken a few pics....

the pics are from under the car looking up from exactly where it had dripped down to.
the coolant has only run to this spot nowhere else.
PLEASE can anyone help or if someone from darwin has enough spare time and kindness to come take a look please pm me.
cheers to anyone who can help.

looks to be on the alternator side, so id say its either, turbo coolant lines, leaking waterpump, or the O ring between the waterpump and thermostat housing. If its the pump its quite a job.
