Your turbo may be both oil- and water-cooled. If that's the case, you may have a leak at one of the coolant hoses going either to or from the turbo. Important to get it looked into soon - a turbo designed for water and oil cooling, but possibly not getting all the water cooling it's set up for - is probably going to have problems before too long. Turbos spin so fast and get so hot that you don't want to have any compromises in your system.

2002 volvo v70 coolant diagram to follow hoses to trace a coolant leak rear engine near turbo

If you have a coolant leak at the rear of the engine, there are not too many choices that it could be. Either the turbo itself, the coolant hose to the turbo, or possibly a hose going to the heater core.

I have a 2005 Kia Sorento under excelliration it blow a lot of black smoke could it be the intercooler leaking as i check the oil regularly and it never uses any,

black smoke is over fuel and in a diesel with a turbo that indicates that
1 the turbo variable vanes are not adjusting to low rpm
2- the turbo turbine wheel is not spinning up
3-the intercooler or hoses are leaking boost air
4-- bad injectors -- squirting and not atomizing

locate the waste-gate and see if you can cover it temporarily while driving. see if this changes it any. It could have a pin sized hole in the diaphragm. just a guess.

I have a1999 2500 suburban turbo diesel. the truck is missing coolant, but the driveway is dry. there is no noticeable leak. the still car runs great. please help

Sounds like a pin hole in one of your smaller hoses, perhaps over the motor where the water that's lost is hitting on the engine & drying before it gets to the ground. Can add some dye or food coloring to the water to make it a little easier to find. After pulling into the driveway, with the motor still running, inspect all the smaller hoses, heater hoses, etc. with gloves & a rag move the hoses from side to side, if the hole is under a clamp this should allow you to see the leak, especially with coloring in the water. If the hole is under a clamp it will only be lost under operating pressure.

I have a coolant leak somewhere under the turbo housing toward the block very hard to see i removed lower exhaust and shrouds around turbo to help see leak i notice a quarter inch hole in block just above...

No, under the turbo there is a cooling hose with a heat wrap around it that kind of looks like tin foil, that hose probably has a pinhole in it and needs to be changed, which is a difficult job (bad design).

well the question is where did the coolant go. if it didnt leak out it must have went out the pipe. As you stated, white smoke, white smoke is coolant. You definately need to get this to the shop. You cannot drive it this way or further damage will occur.

Right Hand Drive 98 Cherokee Sport XJ 2.5L Diesel VM - Coolant Leak

I think the labor to check out the leak is too much.
If a qualified tech. pressurizes the system, he should tell more or less where it's coming from.
Could be freeze out plug.
