Small Leak detected!!

Today i was checking the oil in my 05' when i noticed a bit of pinkish stuff around the passenger side of the head. There are several plugs along this side and all are surrounded by a bit of pink dried stuff.. at one time this may have been wet and or coolant... Dont know. Should i be worried or call my dealer for a checkup?

Another quick question I am seeing up to 34lbs of boost STOCK is this normal?

I had the same thing as many others. Use a 3/8 drive extension on a ratchet or torque wrench and tighten them up. The 1/2" pipe plugs are 40 lbs's torque and the one 3/8" is 20 lbs's. Worked for me........no problem.

34 lbs is normal. Mine would do 34 lbs peak and settle down at 32lbs.
