water pump and thermostat have to be replaced. Now they said bigger problems because water came out of the pump when they took it off. They mentioned something about turbo?

We would need a little more info about where they found coolant when the removed the water pump. There should be water coming out of the water pump but if they are saying something is coming out of the turbo, I imagine that is oil. If there is oil coming out of the turbo then that means the seals inside the turbo have failed and that does need to be fixed because that can put oil in the engine or out the exhaust, both of which are not good.

Let me know if there is more detail about what they found and we can make sense of it. Thanks
