Antifreeze in my intake?!?

I replaced the turbo a few months ago and it was, by one way or another, ingesting COOLANT... Sorry, I'll stop my rant...

I have a 95 Talon Tsi AWD. I bought this car from a "friend" about six months ago. He had spun the turbo, and that is all I knew. I found a used turbo that I bought and installed. When I started it, it was burning coolant at the rate of about a quarter to a half gallon a minute. I did a leakdown test, it gave all the sighns of having a cracked block and I was 95% sure of it. So I set it aside for spring planting season.

I've finaly had the chance to start tearing things apart, and I find fresh, clean coolant in my upper intake hose. Despite working on the farm for many years and having a basic knowledge of mechanics(about as good as my brother who is a john deere technition), I am completely stumped.

Please help me.
