Turbo coolant hose leak?

[timkee330ci]

Hello,
My 3200 has developed a leak that i suspect is from the turbo coolant hose.
I canT see the source of the leak but coolant seems to be dripping from the top half of the turbo which i cant see from beneath or above.
Should i order the tubes before going to indy? Will it be a 3200 specifically shaped hose or common straight tubes?
Is it safe to drive tomy indy whic is less than half an hour away?

I had that, main dealer cracked it when they were fitting things to the car......

I also had this prior to centenary trip. Indy repaired from beneath car, new hoses when I get back.

I suspect it is the short hose that connects to the block. On mine the hose clip perished but the standard hoses can go brittle given heat. It is a standard straight hose on each side but recomend you use silicon hose (speak to Roose Motorsport as its part of their coolant kit and they may sell separately). I did mine working on my back but does require you to remove alternator and various turbo air ducts to access.

I had ordered the full package of hoses from Roose. Replaced all the reachable hose from the top, left the two short tubes connecting the block and the engine. So I am quite sure they are the leaking one. I want to try replace them myself but without a ramp it's hard to work from underneath. is the alternator hard to remove? Radiator out necessary?

Hi
Does anyone know if there is an after market turbo hose set for the bottom hoses
If I remember Roose set I got was just for the top
There was some chat on the ' other' forum a while back and we got a list of part numbers together but not sure it materialised?
This was one of the possible winter projects but it sounds tough without a ramp

The 2 lower hoses are included in the roose kit as straight replacements cut to length. The maserati versions were cost effective so I fitted these instead and used these for the upper tee that feeds these via solid pipe.

I did it working from under car - from memory you need to take tension off belt and then remove alternator. There are then a number of rigid and rubber connecting air pipes from filter that need to be removed - including filter housing. I didnt need to remove radiator but obviously you will need to drain system. Someone else did opposite side but assume A/C compressor would need to come off on opposite side
