Finally Found the Leak

Hey All,

Finally, with the help and tools of my tuner, I finally found where the boost/vaccuum leak is coming from. When we put only 10psi into the system, there was a leak coming from the TB. I think it is the seals, but I am not sure. The leak was coming from around the throttle lever, and when I turned the lever, the leak sort of dialed down a little. Is that the seals?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

P.S. We did a boost leak...just in case anyone was going to ask. No other leaks we found.

That's the TB Seals, a Milspec 65mm will solve that.
