I have checked that pipe , i think it may be under the turbo . I can hear it dripping onto the exhaust.

its got to be one of the water pipe on the turbo if its only happened since you changed downpipe back, if you managed to change the exhaust yourself you can remove the two pipe to check/replace them.

no mate they would be the oil pipes, just the two rubber hoses that go onto the turbo.

Adzer - the 2 Banjo bolts on the side of the turbo are for the Coolant, the ONE BANJO BOLT ON THE TOP is the Oil Feed.

I stripped the lower engine cover off the car today. I found the water is running down the seam of the exhaust manifold. Still no sign of the leak though. Any ideas, cheers
