Actually the leak has been there a while and I will replace that gasket this week.

I have been experiencing a loss of power. When I am below 2000 rpm's, there is very very slow acceleration. When the turbo winds in, there is more acceleration but when I let up on the gas, the engine goes back under 2000 and there is no power again. So I experience slow acceleration followed by a quick burst from the turbo which causes a shift of gears which drops the rpm's below 2000 which causes the engine to lag which then causes me to put my foot down more which starts the whole thing over again.

This just started happening a week or so ago. I have read something about the banjo bolt being cleaned but I have yet to find a good manual that will show me a picture of this banjo bolt so I can find it to clean it.
