Can't find cac leak

Just did egr delete, oil cooler, stc, and turbo drain. Also took turbo apart to inspect and clean. Have a definite leak and have checked the boots and connections thoroughly, hissing noise comes on about 5 seconds after running and seems to be coming from the turbo itself. Is it possible that after cleaning the rust where the clamp holds the two pieces together is leaking, or am I missing something else. There was no leak before the egr delete.

Typically it's where the turbo and y-pipe bolt together. It's possible you'll have to loosen the y-pipe at both exhaust manifolds and tighten the turbo connection first then retighten the exhaust manifolds.
