Can't track down my Boost Leak

Based off my logs I seem to be leaking a bit of boost somewhere. I do have an aftermarket intercooler and chargepipe and I've gone over all the clamps from the hot side upto the throttle body tightening and adjust them one by one. After going over everything I still have the leak any ideas of other common leak sources? I was trying to avoid having to smoke test the system.

I may be wrong here but you can give it a try. Get some brake cleaner and spray it at areas where you think that you may have a leak (car has to be running), when you notice some rpm fluctuation thats were your leak is.

Hope this helps
