Default I need help to determin boost leak

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/71765/dsc_0002.jpg"></center><p>I did pressure test today..

and find really small leak..

really quiet hissing noise at 12-14psi

from somewhere in this pic (circled)

it's somewhere where fuel rail. is

anyone can guess? or could it be where injector is? (like bad o-ring)

Default Pressurize it, and put some soapy water in the area... it will bubble where the leak is.

An injector does not see boost pressure, so that's not it.

Try wiggling the hoses and listen for a pitch change...

Default hmmm... how odd. That's what I get for posting drunk, and not thinking things through.

Sorry for the bum advise... Not sure why the soapy water didn't find it though...
