After todays boost leak test i found a couple of sneaky sniper type leaks on some vacuum hoses... sorted them but i can still hear a very feint hiss coming from the drivers side recirc area. I have felt all round the pipework and wiggled it (just a little bit - ooh ah) but the frequency of the leak didnt change so before i go ripping it all apart i thought id call upon your experiences...

 

assuming i havent got a snake or a pissed off cat lodged in there somewhere, is there anyway air can leak to atmosphere from the recircs assuming all the hoses are good?

 

of course it could be the intercooler but i could only hear it by wedging my head in the nose panel area and wearing the zed like a mask... thats a thought... cool fancy dress... 'im a zed head'! i couldnt hear any leaks from outside around the intercooler area so i think it will be a bumper off job to check that but if any1 knows of any lawful impediment as to why i should rip off my recirc, throw it at the dog and fit a new 1, please do step up...

get a garden spray, fill it with diluted wash up liquid, spray it around the area and let the bubbles show you the way?
