Had the car at kmd for a timing belt change. They said they tighted up some reservior. I dont know what to look for. Sounds like boost coming thru a tiny hold or crack in something. Anyone got a diagram and can point out some things to look at. I would appreciate it.

Turned out to be one of the hose conenctions to my FMIC. It was just loose enough that at that kind of pressure it started leaking a tiny bit. Not enough to blow off and not enough to hear normally. It took one of Schwing's pressure testers and some time because I couldn't hear it until I opened up the valve on the pressure tester past where you would normally put it at. So honestly it could be any of your boost lines but I'm guessing it's one of the larger hoses, tighten down the clamps on the charge pipe, FMIC, MAP pipe, Throttle body, etc. Start with the easy to access ones. ;-)

Seriously though, if you have a 10psi leak it will be almost impossible to find without a pressure test.<ul><li><a href="http://www.modshack.info/Pressure.htm">http://www.modshack.info/Pressure.htm</a</li></ul>
