Could check around the turbo area as that has a coolant pipe fitted to it.
are the heatshields removed?

From memory, turbo has a rubber hose attached to it with some metal tubing around it as heatshields and also a metal pipe that has a copper washer and banjo bolt.
mine leaked at the copper washer when I changed the turbo.
was quite bad and steam came from the area when I drove it.
