Thats my coolant line going to the turbo. Notice the nastiness. Its flaking off to my CAM pos. sensor. Its where the steel line meets the rubber portion.
What causes this? (Picture)

It is prolly seeping coolant. Just enough to cause corrosion. Or something has gotten into where the crimp is. Pic is a little fuzzy, so it's hard to tell exactly.

Too much time spent here is a sign of a bad case of Ownaneonvirus.Patience, of course, is a very powerful weapon, but sometimes I start to regret that it is not a firearm.

It's a common issue with SRTs. The coolant line that leads to the Turbo leaks at that point. On my SRT I had a full rupture at that point on Alligator Alley, it leaked all over the cam position sensor and I had to limp it home.
I would suggest getting a clamp on that line where the rubber connects to the metal and clamp it down before it gets any worse.

It already has a clamp. I noticed I could turn it by hand a bit and the rubber felt soft. Since the rubber was soft the clamp didn't have as much force on the steel pipe.
^Another picture with intake off.
So I took clamp off and pulled hose out. ^
At this point I decided to cut off the end so the clamp would have more of a force on the pipe again and used a small hose clamp instead. I honestly didn't like the way it was.... And could picture it being a fail on my part.
So I walked to the auto store and got a new line and some clamps.
I tried the clamps and they sucked with not really much grasping force, so I reused the stock ones and here you have it:
Lets hope it holds up.

T-bolt clamp on a 3/8'' hose. Yeah I got zipties everywhere. Damn pesky boost leaks.
