Llámame en cuanto surja algo nuevo...


Explanation:
...or simply "llámame en cuanto aflore algo nuevo", "para que pueda ayudarte".

I don't like a translation of "things" in Spanish, "things" is much more usual in English than in Spanish and just sounds too "rerum"...

Surgir and Aflorar are nice alternatives for "come up", and really gives the physical idea of coming up as a new thing. I have heard them often in the same context between, for istance, a boss and a new worker: "En cuanto surja algo, llámame!". "Algo" is great if you want to refer to the "things" that will come up. It's very general and much softer than "cosas" in Spanish.

Hope it helped...

Llámame cualquier cosa.


Explanation:
or Cualquier cosa, llámame.
(or ll'ameme, if less formal)

I hear this exact phrase on the telephone almost every day of my life. i work a lot with telephone conversations in spanish. this is kind of a general, somewhat less informal way of way call me if anything comes up.
