Default Turbo Whistling

My turbo started whistling last week.

So i'm thinking theres a boost leak somewhere in my intake plumbing.

Would a boost leak cause a whistling noise.

Usually the turbo will just make the woooshing sound, never whistle.

my turbo is coolant cooled, and oil fed. It does whistle when its cold. I checked my oil & coolant feed lines, and both have fluid.

which makes me think theres a leak in my boost tube / silicone fittings.
