As you are aware the Zed started overheating the other day and seemed to have a big puddle of water underneath it.. Anyway had a look under the car and checked the water pump.. Have found out it is not actually the water pump as that is fine.. Water was leaking through a pipe near the turbo.. and coming out of the turbo (i think) and found another leak towards the front of the car (a small hose), It pretty much dumps all of the water out through the turbo.. could it be a problem with the intercooler pipe or something.. have been thinking its a pipe that the "petcock" as its called (according to the americans..) has been banging against whilst going over bumps and possibly creating a pin sized leak on this metal pipe.. Any ideas what could have caused this type of leak and why the car is chucking water out of the turbo? I have done a search and cannot find anything relating to this.. some help would be appreciated!

 

Thanks,

and why the car is chucking water out of the turbo?

 

Because the stock turbos on a Z are water cooled. You might have a split feed or buggered seal..?

Turbo water feed pipes rust from the inside and leak through pin holes after 15 or so years.
