I have developed a huge boost issue recently in that I loose al boost when the solenoid pops open for the second turbo and I can hear a massive air leak fomr somewhere wehn driving... I drove the car the other day and noticed that my minor oil leak problem that I have never quite pin pointed but looks to be coming from somewhere around the secondary turbo actuator is way worse since whatever has blown happened?? I looked under the bonnet and the top of the y-pipe around the actuator area and where the intercooler pipe joins is really wet with oil (I have already checked all the major pipes for splits and they are fine and I still get 10psi boost on turbo#1).. I was reading a non-sequential conversion thread the other day and something caught my eye. It mentioned about the O-ring seal in the joint of the y-pipe becoming perished and leaking oil. Is it possible this could have blown a section right out or split it causing my massive boost loss on the second stage turbo and oil leaking out?

Ideas please!

Thank you
