Default Boost Leak

While accelerating recently, I heard some noise and quickly realized I have a boost leak, I hold about 7lbs of boost so I assume it has to be either a hole in a tube or something else

Anyways when the car is warm it idles with a oil pressure of about 11psi. From what I read, this is ridiculously low so that's why I'm curious if you guys think I need a new engine or do should do something to look for a leak (if there is one) maybe pump smoke in there or something.

I'd appreciate any insight on the situation,
Thanks
-Kyle

Update: Now believe it's the BOV

Didn't mean to bump, initially put my "Update" above in here, then decided to move it up hoping more people may see it.

Thanks
