I am trying to get basetuned for my dsmlink. I warmed up the car took it for a drive and came back to get LTFT working and after I had made adjustments and turned off the engine to go inside I could hear a hissing sound. I popped the hood and pinpointed it to the backside under the intake. I put my hand under there (no a/c) and reached around to feel for air or water but I could not feel any obvious leakage. It kept hissing for 5 minutes or so then it stopped. I hope this is not a headgasket issue. I searched but the "hissing" sounds were for radiators and boost leaks. Please help. Thanks, DAN
 
I went for another drive came home and wiggled the booster lines it got louder so I went and picked up new hoses and clamps from napa. I hope that cures it. I didnt know the brake booster held pressure till now.
