Broken N80 pipe where it meets the top of the engine, near PCV thingy.

Hello All !!

First post, was a memeber of the mk4 fourm under the same name. But sold my Vikki (mk4 gti AGU engine) to a new dubber, and spent what little money i have on a mk5 GTI.

I told the misses it was because it's safer, with moer airbars, ISO fix seats for when we have kids, and that I wouldn't slam it to the ground....

Any way on with the issue. So last night i was checking for boost leaks with my end cap and 5 PSI of pressure. I could here a leak about traced it back to the little black pipe going from the n80 valve, to the head (between the oil cap and the PCV system) if i remove and refit the connection it holds pressure for a bit, but as soon as you touch it it leaks again.

Can i just get a new pipe ? or find another rubber o ring?

any one had this issue on an AXX engine ?

LOVE YOU !!

So Halfords (is my only local car place near work) has the size above the O ring and the size below.

So i used the size above and used a small (like for fixing glasses small) flat head screw drive to it in to the hole 
Gave it a few bounces off the rev limiter, tho at a stand still, and it didn't pop out.

Road test on the way home.....

Feels better, but the air leak noise is still there on boost. Will have to get the compressor out again
