post boost leak test
so i did the leak test yesterday and i have a leak behind the timing belt covers (under the right side cam gears). i really dont have the time to jack up the motor and pull the motor mount to get to where the leak is (and fix it). im thinking a gasket of some sort on a pulley. i was thinking head gasket at first, but i wasnt spitting any oil (that i could tell) and i didnt have any anti-freeze in my oil when i did oil change today...has anyone else experienced this or have a better educated guess on what it could be? thanks

Re: post boost leak test
ok, not as high as the timing covers but it is leaking out from the crankcase somewhere. theres the 2 timing covers on top and then theres one cover underneath those and the leak is coming from behind there. but i cant pull that bottom cover off to see where its leaking unless i jack up the motor. ill try to post a video of it friday afternoon.
