I have what sounds like a leak on the high pressure side of the turbo on a diesel. What are the ramifications of running with this leak and any vague ideas what it might be?

    Loss of power, reduced mpg.

    Probably split on elbow of intercooler inlet pipe (trubo to intercooler).

    About £75 ish or £110ish depending on which one you have.
