Boost Leak Under Intercooler

I built a rig to pressurize the system (as per another post on here) and when I pressurize it up to 2psi, I can hear a boost leak under the intercooler.

Spraying with soapy water indicates that one of my injectors is leaking - but I'm wondering if there is another common source under the intercooler for leaks....

the o rings for the injectors are pretty cheap. you could just replace them and see if it goes away

Yeah - replaced 'em (all 8 were crunchy and useless) and THAT leak went away, but it wasn't the main boost leak. The main one was in the piping to the boost gauge...
