Im going to rent a leakdown tester later on, but until then, what else could be wrong? Maybe my lower intake didnt seal right? Only under boost does it leak so im scared its the HG again.

WHere is the coolant leaking? Internally and smoking or visually on the motor and ground?

It is puddling on top of my water pump, yet I cannot find a source. On the dyno yesterday I was making some weird numbers which I think is partially due to my clutch. On the other hand, if my compression is good and I dont have a bad HG I want to know how im making such low numbers now.

If it's leaking from the top of th wp , it's prob the water pump is bad or it could just be leaking from the lower gasket. You gotta clean the area real good and inspect it occassionally to see exactly where the source is.

Should I get a leakdown tester just in case?

WOW I feel like an idiot. I was looking around and found that my thermostat housing was a little wet so I was looking for leaks and then I squeezed my rad house and thats what it was. It was a little loose and thats what caused this. Now that I know my engine was running fine for the dyno, im scared why my dyno numbers were so low.
