Air Leak Near Oil Filter

Air Leak Near Oil Filter
I've got a boost leak which I'm trying to track down
it doesn't seem to be the DVs but you never know
my hearing isn't great but it might be coming from between the oil filter and the TB
Anyone know what to check?

Also, I've found a leak at the intercooler
It's where the core meets the black plastic bit at the top - the bit before it connects to the hose
Does that make sense?
Can this be sealed or do I need a new IC?

Yep, between the end tank and the core
I'm guessing now's the time to upgrade as you suggested
the thing I'm thinking is haven't the upgraded intercoolers got different sized ends?
Just want to make sure I don't buy some now only to have to replace them gain in the future

I would try to spray some soapy water around the affected area if you got your air compressor hooked up. You'll be able to visually see where the leak is coming from.
From my understanding, most IC will directly bolt on to your old mounts. The hoses should be the same size as well.
