    Check the connections on and around the intercooler. Those hoses and connectors like to pop off. You may have to put clamps on a couple of them...if you go down to firestone this weekend I'll show you which ones on mine needed additional clamping. Also check the connection from the ic to the engine. Mine slid off just a little bit but the clamp was covering the part that was loose so you could barely tell it was leaking(visually). Also is it making any noise? Mine you could hear something was wrong....it sounded like i had a turbo on both sides of my engine bay when those were leaking.
