if it looks like you can take it out do so, go to b&q to the plumbers part and get some tape(sure it called pfc tape or something like that, am sure someone will correct me on that!) wrap that around if first then put it back! should help it!

Ahh guys took the boost guage out and found the vacum hose that connects at the back of it was too big. So I got a smaller hose and put it in the main vacum hose then put it on back of boost guage then cable tied it, result no more leaks.
