Boost Leak

[PropXprt]

I've got a leak that can be heard thru the valve cover so I pulled the valve cover off and made sure it wasn't my pcv valve. I am having a hard time telling whether it is coming thru a valve guide or not. It is a pulsating leak, any ideas of what this might be before I go tearing the head off of my car. By the way this engine only has about 7500 miles on it.

Thanks for you input.

Make sure its not leaking out your injector o-rings. You might bump the key and see if there isnt a valve open letting air in and out of the engine. I know with my car i shut it off and i could hear air traveling through the engine . Then i started it and shut it off and wall la it was fixed. It held boost until the motor started to roll over.

Yeah, I say your best guess if your hearing a leak through the head is the injector seals, those things go to crap over time.

Sorry about taking so long to reply, my schedule has been extremely busy lately. On topic now, it isn't the injector seals, I just replaced them about a month ago and I have sprayed soapy water all over the I.M. gasket and all of the connections including the injector seals. I will keep trying to move the engine to get rid of it, if this doesn't work, well then I'm completely lost. Thanks for the replies.
