Can you get your hands in there to feel for the leak?

If you don't want to put you hands back there try a string on a stick.

Ive had the turbo off like 6-8 times and never had a leak, so im thinking mayme the up pipe is leaking? I was working below and a friend on installing on top. Maybe he didn't get the bolts tight! It sucks because you have to remove the turbo!

The IPR pipe doesn't have that problem.

If I had to buy one that's the one I'd go with too. The OEM type flange is not only heavier it's easier to get a flex head wrench on to tighten up the bolts. The PMM I got to try was very cheaply made and the EGR cooler delete pipe leaked.
