Boost control solenoid leaking coolant
Hello,
I need some help, went up to pikes peak in Colorado today to come home and find what appears to be my boost control solenoid, according to the part number, is leaking coolant judging by the color. Just need some advice and help on ideas. Thank you in advance for your time!

Assuming 3.0t?
if so, it’s a sign of a failing/failed water pump. So you’ll want to plan on replacing the WP, and while you’re in there: coolant after run pump, thermostat, accessory belts, that solenoid pictured along with another one of the exact same that is on the front of the motor.
It could be DIY job if that’s your thing, easier with the front end completely off but do-able in the service position. GL!
