Leak test....Spark plugs??

[jat2339]

So i just went to do a leak test of my intake and i pressurized to 20lbs according to the air compressor but i never made it there according to the gauge on the intake, and i hear a lot of air leaking around my spark plugs and a little from my boost contoller, i didnt think the spark plugs would be a normal place for a boost leak...any advice or comments?

ok so on attempt number 2 i realized it wasnt the spark plugs it was actuall coming from around the valve cover, so i tightened it then it started coming from the oil cap on the valve cover.....is that normal?

Did you unhook your pcv system from the intake?
