Are you positive it's not one of the hoses or the mating point to the y-pipe? Had that problem on mine. Jubilee clip appeared tight but it wasn't. Also, if you've ever had the tmic off, check the hose to the throttle body. That's a favourite for not quite going back on cleanly.

Alternatively, drive a car into a lake so you can look for bubbles from the tmic. If it doesn't work you can always claim off the insurance and by a new one so it's a win either way
