I did a leak test on my car, and I found 1 leak, but it is so small I can't find out the exact spot. The sound is coming from the turbo, so I'm not exactly sure where its leaking. Any suggestions on where it could be coming from?

Any help on finding this leak would be greatly appreciated.
 
I just found a leak on my stock turbo also. It was really hard to find, but the soapy water trick really helps out. Turns out it was leaking inbetween the center housing and the turbine housing where that large snap ring is. I pulled the turbo apart and found no cracks. There is a large O ring seal that goes in behind there also. I would check there.
