Turbo installation Problem....HELP!!!

Ok, I am installing a Banks turbo. The issue that I am having is when I removed the brass plug from above the oil filter (to feed oil to the turbo) I have coolant streaming out. I put the plug back in but I leaked about a cup of coolant on the ground in the mean time.

My question is whether or not there should be coolant there or not? Since it says in the installation instructions to remove the plug and place lines to pump oil to the turbo I would obviously assume that coolant shouldnt be there. Do I have a cavitation problem? If anyone needs pics of the exact location then I can take some......

Thanks
Thad

Sounds like the wrong plug. If you have water in the oil, it would all be in the bottom of the oil pan. If it's mixed in the oil, it makes the oil look white and milky.
