Well the radiator sits right next to it, and the hose to the overflow tank actually sometimes runs over the airbox around the edge (turbo layout).

I would check the hoses from the radiator on the airbox side for leaks, and would take a close look at the radfiator itself to be sure there isn't a rusted/corroded/pinhole letting coolant shoot out under pressure or something.

I wouldn't worry about the coolant as an indication of some type of engine malfunction though. As far as I know there is no fault that would lead coolant to go into the airbox... into the exhaust, but the airbox only cycles air into the engine with no return to the airbox itself.

good luck,
rt
