Re: Wierd Boost leak test results?

When you are doing the 'boost' leak test, pop the radiator cap, if its really bad, you'll notice bubbles in the fluid, then you know you have a blown headgasket.
Are you sure your not leaking out the intake manifold?
Where the motor is at in its revolution shouldn't matter for a boost leak test. The point is to pressurize the intercooler/intake system, post turbo, to help find leaks. If you are really worried about the motor, have a compression/leakdown test done. About the blown seal pressurizing the oil? Never heard of that one before. I would imagine the car would smoke really bad if that were the case.
