I know it sucks to have a problem, but it's nice that the leak is so obvious against that red pipe. Hopefully it's a quick fix!

Pull it apart, clean it up, and put some hairspray on it before you put it back together. 10-12 psi of boost is nothing to keep sealed up.

You can stop the clamp from loosing by tightening the clamp then put another 10mm nut on it and tighten it up against the original one.

Copy

50K maintenance, add stuck bypass valve to the list (part open). I was out of the US for 60 days and my wife drove my car 3 times, not enough I guess.
