2007 S65 with 75k mileage...Noticed a few coolant drips on garage floor..My indy mechanic says turbos are leaking. In past few weeks I have had to add 2 to 3 ozs of coolant to coolant reservoir each week. There's no smoke from the exhaust and no loss of power. Anyone familiar with this issue? Expense? Overall the car is absolutely mint.

Reason: Corrected misspell
I don't know about coolant, but my S65's turbo sprung a oil leak. Since there is no space around the engine, it meant almost $6000 to get it out and replace a seal that was a few bucks.
I don't want to scare you, but there is a good chance your mechanic will suggest similar approach.
Best of luck to you!
The thinking is leaks could be from the seals on the coolant tubes feeding the turbos. There is no smoky exhaust. I did speak with a company about after market warranty however they said they only look at S65's with 50k or less milage. At 75k they moved on.
