Boost leak at turbo compressor cold side

I try to pressurize the system but air leaks from the cold side of the turbo, it starts to bubble up with the soap. I can only get about 15psi with my air compressor. The turbo is a gt37r

From between the CHRA and the compressor housing? There's an Oring in there. It's probably bad.
