[s-cars] First Boost Leak

[chris chambers]

David,

if you checked all the turbo hose connections and they are all
intact I would recommend checking what we refer to as the michelin man
hose. This is a hose that is a low spot in the boost system and tends
to collect oil, when it goes bad it splits and the split can be hard
to find.

This is an accordian style hose that connects the crossover pipe to
the intercooler.

Of course this is assuming you are using the same hoses and connections
as an UrS4.
