Why do you think you have a leak? whats the symptoms?

I've had a few on various cars, culprits so far inlcude, leaky dump valve, sas valve(evo only), intercooler piping.

Its normally the latter so just give everything a good going over and tighten everything up. Induction to turbo, turbo to intercooler, intercooler to inlet.

Quite often they are hard to find by eye unless the car wont run properly, its the small anoying ones that are buggers to find

Good luck
