Interesting. I've been catching a wiff of coolant on mine as well. Just a fraction under 100k. Anybody notice this turbo is making a weird noise as well?
That is the bad one to get to . I just pulled my turbo today and replaced the manifold and gasket. And honestly, it would probably be easier to pull the turbo than to try and pull that line from behind it... That fitting is like $4. It has an o-ring inside of it like stated above. I am glad I replaced all of mine while I had it all apart.
It's a repeating chirping noise. Several chirps per second when accelerating. Only coming from the left side. Present on harder acceleration, but silent at all other times. Can be heard from a distance on the exterior.

Did you visit the thread I linked? Sounds exactly like the issue I had. Any chance you could video it?
Took me a couple of tries to capture the noise. It's pretty faint in the video, but that's due to the phone. It's not a typical turbo sound, more of a chitter. Not what I'd expect for an exhaust leak.

Yea, that's the same noise. I remember the video from several months ago.
Anybody have a set of headers for the EB?
The manifolds are surprisingly cheap from ford. I think I had $100 in my whole job... You will need the manifold, gasket, turbo flange gasket, and i would go ahead and replace the coolant fittings too.
I too had the exhuast leak and am in the middle of putting the turbo coolant lines back in. I can't get it to seat properly. I'm using the original clips that came on it.
