Default Uh ohhhhh......

Yeah, I was nailing it out of a light last night, and about mid second gear it felt like my car hit hardcore fuel cut... so I give it some gas, and all I hear is enormous ammounts of boost leakage, so I assumed its an intercooler hose. But this morning after driving it for about 10 minutes to work, I opened the hood, and smelled coolant really strong, and I looked down in front of the motor, and sure enough theres coolant standing there, and I can hear it dripping from somewhere and sizzling on the pipes.

What the hell? DId I blow a gasket or something last night? Could that be boost leaking out of my head gasket or seals? Or are the problems unrelated?

yep...try to clean things up a bit before you start to make the leak a bit easier to spot.

Kennys got it right, it was actually no big deal

Also I just had to replace my right axle boot, was leaking gear oil out of it
