I just had a leak fixed. Actually it was an easy one. There is a rubber pipe between the Y pipe that combines the air exiting the compressor section of the turbos and the long black plastic pipe that connects to the intercooler. Actually it connects to another rubber pipe that connects to the intercooler. My leak was at the rubber pipe. I now have a Y pipe that is from the 99 RX-7 and it eliminates the rubber pipe. It just bolts directly to the long pipe that goes to the intercooler. Securing that rubber pipe might fix your problem. Otherwise check out this.

Got mine from Tri Point for $255.95. I have no idea what they go for elsewhere but there is something to be said for having the part in hand. Plus my car was already there having work done.
