Boost leak? plz help!

alright. i pulled my car into the bay at work to repair my tire the other day. put the car on the lift and lifted it up. Later on in the day i noticed my car was only hitting 10psi. any clue? Normally i peak at 19psi and hold 18.

i think if the ECU pulls enough advance, it'll limit the boost to wastegate pressure. My car used to randomly do this.
