Water Leak since charger was fitted

[gazbrook 0]

I have just got my charger fitted and have had some teething problems, it has been popping off air hoses because of the pressure, I have now sorted that but i have now a major water leak. The leak is coming from the lower part of the engine near the drivers side, somewhere near the back. I have samco hoses so don't expect them to have burst and can't see anywhere obvious that they have popped off. Any ideas what it could be???

Maybe one of the two hoses which go into the oil cooler-heat exchanger has popped. Don't thing these were included in the samco kit so probably have never been changed.

my head will prob need skimming again from what i understand and then all the labour that garages charge aswell. At a guess £500 to £550 but my local garage will prob charge £200 more as they are pricey as &*%@ . Then there's the price of a copper head gasket aswell. Not gonna be cheap :-(
