Engine seems to be leaking at the rear passenger side. I was thinking it could be a heater hose.. Anything else back there that could be causing this leak.

honestly its a random leak... sometimes it leaks allot... Clear... sometimes it doesnt leak at all... Doubt its AC.. mine doesnt work... i was thinking it could be the Turbo...

its not black.. kinda semi Green/ clear

Are you losing coolant? Gotta figure out what it is first so you know what you're looking for.

Lol either it's green or not and just because ur ac doesn't work doesn't mean it still won't drip.. Need to open the rad cap and check the level

Second if the level is down go to ur local auto parts store and buy a pressure tester or borrow one from a buddy at a shop.. Best way to tell where the leak is if it is the coolant

yeah no coolant leak... im not that bad at diagnosing cars.. I usually know what to check.. But i am stumped on this one..

the radiator doesnt drain. There is a leak (sometimes) i was thinking its leaking from the TURBO, let me take some pictures.. I might just have to remove the plenum and take a better look.. the TT Z has a very tight engine bay.. -_-

Ya take some pics would aid in proper diagnosing.. And yes it is tight but there is always a way to get in there
