ok you really shouldent even have a boosted car if you dont even know how to diagnose a simple problem like this.... Umm need more information, were you thought it was leaking from, was it actually leaking from there and you fixed it? when you turboed the car did you change anything with the coolant system at all? dissconnect a hose or anything?

Take it to a shop, and never do anything to your car again.
