why do you think there is a water leak there? the turbos are water and oil cooled/lubricated, it could be possible the water jacket on the turbo has gone, but cant say i have ever seen this

what i would do is make up some kinda hose attachment and and plug one of the holes, and fill from the other using pressure hose and see if you have water coming from the turbo
