Do you have an oil pressure gauge? what are your oil levels like? is your temperature gauge accurate? possible overheating? check thoroughly for any signs of a leak somewhere..

Oil pressure is good. About 10-15 idle. Cruise about 60. I feel theres a boost leak cause in the engine bay theres a strong heat around the manifold area, maybe the piece if **** megan manifold is cracked.
