i had a coolant loss problem, we replaced the head gasket, had the head pressure tested, put everything together and we still have a coolant loss, could it be the turbo which is water and oil cooled? or what?

dear friend- your turbo is not oil coold,but if you put a pressure tester on pump it ti 15psi and then let it stand for a while look for external leaks if nothing see if the pressure has dropped,if no external leaks were found and the pressure has dropped,it must be internal,if the pressure did not drop then i think the water cap is faulty.
