What the heck. I talked to Calvin about it already and after talking it over he said he thought it was very possible the thermostat gasket blew out. All I know is it started leaking above the fuel pump at the front passenger side of the engine. Wasn't driving it hard or anything, let the turbo cool down like normal, shut it off and 4 minutes it started ******* water everywhere! -cuss

Coolant presure will actually increase a good bit at shutdown. Figure the water isn't moving anymore, so it gets super heated breifly by the block and so if you have something on the edge of failing it probably will go just like you said. Fill the cooling system and presurize it if necessary, and hopefully you'll find your leak.
