Turbo coolant leak

My 1986 5000 CSTQ has developed a coolant leak where the coolant feed pipe
comes out of the engine block. The fitting on the engine looks like a
modified freeze plug with a nipple on it. The pipe is steel from the turbo
but is terminated in a crimp to a short (1 or 2 inch) rubber hose that fits
on the nipple. The leak is in this area, but I can't see exactly where.
Anyone experienced this and know which part I should be looking to replace?

Also, the hose from the PS pump to the rack is leaking. Anyone replaced
this recently and know what they cost and a good place to get one?

Thanks,
	Paul
