Large coolant spot. Dead center Bottom of the Motor. 2011 6.7

I have a large coolant leak. Directly under the center of the engine. It looks like it’s coming down the passenger side of the motor. Dripping onto the center cross member and down from there. Trucks ******d. Anyone else have any ideas what could be feeding coolant that far back that’s leaking?
Thanks.

Maybe coolant fitting on turbo if stock.

Awesome. I’ll check dig into it a little deeper later. But I’m going to go out and see if I can see anything without yanking much off today. It’s a little too cold at -13...

Turbo coolant leaks generally come down bell housing of trans dead center of engine. Mine made 3 large spots right at back of engine.

Coolant feed line to the turbo I bet.


Could also be the EGR block off plates leaking if it's the passenger side above the motor mount.

That’s pretty much right where it is. Thanks guys. Any upgrades I can do while fixing this. (I.E. different material line)

If it’s the turbo coolant fitting replace the line with the fitting. I replaced just the fitting and the line was leaking as well. I just replaced with OEM.

Ok thanks! I believe it is the coolant line to the turbo. I peeked down at the turbo and the valley on top of the engine block down there is a puddle of coolant so I’ll get that ordered and fixed.
Thanks!
