Had a coolant line blow right at the turret on our old Mazak yesterday afternoon. Green coolant everywhere, like a bad fountain. What's your go-to fix for a sudden leak like that?

Ugh, that's the worst spot for a leak. Honestly, I'd check if the turret rotation cracked the line fitting before I did anything else.

Oh man, that reminds me of the time my neighbor had a leak right by his turret. Took him forever to find it, @mark436. He replaced the whole line before realizing the fitting was just loose from all the turning. Felt so bad for him.

My friend's dad did the same thing with his sprinkler system last spring. He replaced three whole sections before finding a loose connection, just like your neighbor, @marywilson. It's crazy how the fix is sometimes so simple after all that work.
