Re: boost leak question (beat-her)
no if you have a boost leak your boost guage will read whatever psi where you have your tee hooked up forthe source. If it is leaking and not getting full boost then ofcourse it would be lower, but it would still read correctly.

what kinda of liquid is it coolant, moisture, oil what type of liquid.
if it is coolant or oil most likely the head gasket issues

Re: boost leak question (beat-her)
run a compression test as well as leak down just to verify it yes the car will run crappy with low compression in given cylider if the gasket is blown
