Where is it leaking from?
External vent?
Edit: This should probably be in Perf./Show/Sound Tech. |

| My tial wastegate worked it's way loose and blew bunch of carbon out one of the flanges. Solution was to tighten the bolts back down and use loctite. There's my internet diagnosis. YMMV |

Sounds like good advice. |

| My Turbosmart external wastegate did the same thing a handful of times, and you saw it too Blaine, I talked to you about it 2 years ago. I replaced both gaskets, added a thin layer of RTV on both of them, replaced all bolts and washers, and added red locktite to everything. Hasnt moved an inch since. |
