Coolant leak at turbo?

[Lotus54]

I seem to have a slight coolant leak. I haven't been able to pinpoint it yet, but it appears to be about at the turbo.

I recently replaced all the coolant hoses, so certainly it pressure on the metal hoses going to the turbo while fitting hose.

I can't tell exactly how they hook up to the turbo. Banjos and copper washers? Press fit?

Any tips I'd appreciate. Guess next is getting the car in the air enough so I can find it.
It takes a cople of days to loose 1/8 cup of coolant or so (maybe less amount)

An easy way to find the leak is to pressurize the system. See the photos in this thread

They are banjos and copper washers - quite awkward to get at. The copper washers are 11mm or maybe 10mm.

Thanks for all the good info.

After jacking it up and crawling under, the drain plug and left hose we re slightly weeping. Fixed those, then let sit again.
Then found a slight one at the water pump connection. Tightened that some more, now I'll see how it goes.

It doesn't appear to be from the turbo at all, just pooled up right there. A bit of cardboard shoed the exact spot.

Guess trying to not over tighten the clamps resulted in under tightening ...

Tha is again.
