Don\'t despair fellar.......... I had the same drama but after seeing how the pipes were run around the Turbo I had a better idea on the position of the leak(s)..
 And then how to tackle it................

 If it\'s the same pipes I had problems with(in the link Robbie posted) then I can offer advise.
 If you could hold a spanner, own some decent tools and have lots of patients, then you may be able to DIY.......

I thought I had a water seal failure because I was losing coolant and couldn;t see where it was going. After a while though I realised I could hear a strange noise after a run around the turbo area. It turned out I had the top one of those pipes leaking and it was dropping onto the red hot turbos and evaporating straight away. Hence losing coolant but never seeing a puddle of it anywhere. Anyhow all is fixed now after a ****ter of a job.
