Message I just did a boost leak test today and I heard a pretty big leak coming from the rear driver's side of the engine. I couldn't pin point where the leak was coming from but my guess is it's the valve cover leaking.

Can I eliminate pressurizing the crankcase by capping off the PCV hoses in the front attaching to the turbo inlet hoses? Also i have the PCV re-route where i tapped into the intake valve covers. can i also cap those hoses to eliminate any pressure going to the crankcase?

I know the valve covers don't see boost under normal conditions so if it is my valve covers leaking, should i see any negative effects performance wise. Thanks.
