An effective way to determine a leak is to spray starting fluid on the hoses one by one. If there is a leak, the starting fluid will get sucked in and cause the engine to race a bit for a second.

Because yours is a Turbo, I woudl look through all the posts regarding rough idle, cold start problems, etc. There is a bunch of info regarding the Intercooler hoses collapsing and filling with water. That may be your problem.
