Anti Freeze Leak

Hey 2 months ago I had to replace the 2 plastic hoses in the pulley assembly. A couple weeks after that, I started noticing everytime I made a hard right turn I was getting smoke coming out from under neath the hood. I could smell anti freeze everytime this happen. There are no visual leaks under the car but there are stains on the left side of the motors exhaust manifolds from the anti freeze. Could this be residual from the line replacement or do I have another leak.
Thanks
 


Did you make sure you got all the o-rings in the new elbows, and that they were seated properly? If there were any parts left from the old elbows (which is likely), they could also be preventing a good seal.

Try revving the motor while you're looking under the hood. The increased pressure as you rev the engine may allow you to see where it's leaking from.
 
Thanks for the reply. No, the elbows are both dry. Also, no noticable leak on engine run. When I get the smoke from the antifreeze, it is running onto the front, left bank, exhaust manifold.
Thanks
 
Did you check the intake? Also hook up a presure tester and see if it holds pressure or starts pissing out somewhere/
