Default '03 Rex, Coolant Leak Under Turbo, Need Help!!

Hey, all I'm looking for a bit of help. I know the turbos on these cars are coolant fed to keep everything going (I think). From the top of the motor everything looks normal, but the down pipe from my APS, and loower control arm/frame has coolant. Is there a line or such under the turbo that I need to look at? I would like a direction to go towards, or any input from you guys.. Thanks, and pic's. included:

the coolant line that feeds the turbo its on its side,and in between the hot and cold side of the turbo. its a u shaped line covered with some of the heat resistant aluminum. u can see it on the right on the second pic.
