Coolant is leaking like a bat outta hell out of the bottom of my car. I'll be damned if I can find where it's coming from, but it seems to be the turbo area. It's made a nice big puddle on the driver's side of the car under the engine. Any ideas where this might be leaking from??

one place comes to mind, the water pipe behind the turbo. It runs from the thermostat housing to the water pump and sits in the water pump with an O-ring that sometimes cracks.
Other than that there is one more coming off of the thermostat housing that runs behind the turbo down to the oil cooler housing on my car, not too sure about a 95 but thought I would mention it.

i have somewhat of a similar problem, but my coolant leaks like an escaped hebrew slave with master on his heels only when the car is reved pasted 5k
If it's not the o-ring then it's probably the other place mentioned.
The 92-99 cars use the same oil cooler. I'd bet that feed hose is broken/fell off...it runs behind the turbo on the drivers side.
There is another turbo feed line near the turbo on the passenger side on the 95 cars, but sounds less likely.
For both of you, have someone look at it when someone else revs it so you can find the source. Of course be sure the revver doesn't launch the car onto the looker.
Remember to clean up that leaking fluid...animals and kids drink it and it can be lethal.

There is a hard coolant line that runs behind the turbo to the oil filter housing...another member suggested this...it has about a 3" long soft hose that looks like about where you're leaking in that gushing pic.
It would run down the line and drip off of the filter housing, causing your puddle on that side.
