The o-ring on the compressor outlet, the hot-side boots, the intercooler end tank seals (if you have a plastic-tank intercooler), the cold-side boots, the boots at the intake plenums, etc.

Drive pressure leaks are really common where the turbine inlet pipes merge into the collector. It's a design flaw....nothing wrong with the truck. If you see soot where the pipes merge into the collector at the back side of the turbine housing, then plan on buying new pipes and donut seals.
