Re: C5 diesel sucking in air
Sounds like the turbo pipe Marco, runs from the intercooler over the engine.
Have you noticed a fall-off in performance?
Worth removing that pipe and giving it a thorough inspection but you may be able to locate the leak by spraying the pipe with WD40 or similar with the engine running, the sound will change when the spray falls on the leaking bit.
It may be just the hose clips are loose too.

Don't the intercooler pipes run at positive pressure?

Possibly the pipe beside it that runs from the airbox to the turbo.
