Help Needed. Turbo Coolent Line Leaking

[nissanmanS12]

Hey guys.

In a bit of a pickle. Got a S2 S14. After going for a drive last nite came home to relise that coolent is leaking. i just fitted an alloy radiator yesterday, works great. Didnt touch anythn to do with turbo water lines etc.

Got under the car.. luks like the banjo bolt going into the turbo with the line attached is leaking.. tuk the bolt out with the copper bushes...seemed a bit mangled, so replaced the copper bushes. Still leaks!

Any ideas on wether the turbo water lines can crak in certian places etc? Do the banjo bolts need to be torques correctly?

Is it common to crak water lines or sumtn?? etcetc

ANY HELP WUD BE AWESUM.

Ive seen this happen on a friends S15 SR20...he kept breaking the lines due to a loose exhaust manifold...possiably check that everything is toight and not moving and damaging the lines.

Interesting... ive jst recently had a aftermarket mani put on. The guys that put it on stuffd up the mani and dumpipe install, had a huge exhaust leak...so they re did it agen... quite possibly they hav screwed with it whilst putting on manifold.........
