Boost leak?

when i start my car sometimes, the stock guage sits on the 0 not just infront of the -7.

 

why is this?

 

i think i have a boost leak somewhere but no idea where. when i cane it, there seems to be some smoke coming from under the bonnet which smells like burning rubber! it's not burning rubber but can't think what else it could be! possibly a water leak which is strange as i replaced all the water pipes!

 

hmmmm.....

    also i've just fitted an aftermarket boost guage and it's started doing it since this, but i've looked everywhere and can't find a leak!
