Boost pipes usually leak at left hand side where red pipe meets the intercooler.

New seals are pennies at a dealer and should fix the problems (did for me!)  :happy2:

The pipe i think is leaking is the driverside pipe, i replaced the seals, didnt feel any diffent powerwise, but the pipe has movement in it, if you pull on it, where i think it should sit tight, the lug on the end looks at liitle worn which i think is causing the movement,.
