Coolant leak SR20DET

Hi all. My S14 SR is leaking coolant. I thought it was a split hose at first, but it was coming from the back driver's side of the engine. Sounds like it's near the turbo or something. It's definitely leaking. I can see the tranny is wet, and drips are coming off of the front crossmember and the axles... I can hear a sizzling spitting sound, exactly how I would imagine coolant to sound as it leaked through a slit in some rubber hosing.
Any ideas what this could be?

Thanks!
Cole

Possibly one of the coolant lines that go to the turbo. At least that's what it sounds like, or the return coolant lineCheck them hoses

Get down in there with a mirror on a rod. They're about $5 at any auto parts store.

20" telescoping mirror
