Default Coolant leak

I've got a 1998 Sti V5 and this morning it dumped all its coolant after I turned the engine off when parked at work.

I can't see which hose. It appears to be spraying from somewhere under the turbo to the right if looking at the car. Its not the lower hose on the turbo but its spraying onto that hose from somewhere to right of it.

Has anyone got an idea which hose might do that or have a hose layout diagram? I've had a google but couldn't find one.

One recently done on here: look at the threads about cooling, coolant, overheating etc.

Those searches turn up quite a few results, as you might expect. Any idea how recent to narrow the search? I did look first.

I don't think its the turbo coolant hose. Its hitting that hose but looks (not the easiest to see or tell) that its coming from the right of it. I'm thinking something on the head maybe? Or isn't there a pipe that comes around the engine somewhere down there?

Found it. Only a partial image of some of the hoses, was hoping to get a full image of the coolant system. I'll check opposed forces and see what I can find.

There is a coolant crossover pipe under the inlet and the seals in these can go hard and leak coolant out from here as well.

If you look at all recent threads concerning the above, you'll find someone posted a full system drawing.
