Either way, here's a video.. Engine Bay Exhaust
It certainly is not centered around the turbo. It seems to be coming from underneath and closer to the firewall.
Any thoughts? I think i'll just take it to a shop for them to evaluate, but perhaps it's something i can address myself. I don't have much time on my hands these days though.
I'd suspect your flex pipe on the downpipe probably has a hole or three in it. Not sure if the 123 is the same as the 126, but there is also a joint down below that could be loose. Could be as easy as tightening the bolts up if that's where it's coming from.
