Well before jumping to more conclusions, I tried to pressurize the cooling system to see if any hoses were leaking. I pumped it up between 15-20 psi and found 3 spots in the upper radiator hose that were leaking and the hose going to the turbo. I replaced the hose going to the turbo and found a large crack under the hose clamp. I also decided it is probably time to flush the system. I had to hog out the crap out of the block drain plug to let it flow. I'll wait a week and see if that fixed the coolant leak. Thanks and sorry for the wild goose chase.
