After driving nearly two hours, I started losing power in the boost range. The boost gauge would even move into the 3 o'clock position - still no power. I did experience this before and replaced a leaky hose. Diff between now and then (as far as I remember) was the gauge didn't move that far. Quick prelim check of hoses appeared OK. I had replaced most of them already, except the silicone one. It's next. The idle also seemed rough when we got home. There were a few times where it 'felt' like it was working normal then degraded. I also need to investigate an oil 'splatter' on the hood in the area of the front of the Cam. There are signs of oil drops on various engie parts/hoses. Not alot, but some. Would an oil seal (Cam) rupture cause my condition? Thanks!
