Compressed air leak

Compressed air leak

Compressed air leak

(OP)
Hi, everybody!
We have Siemens SGT5-4000F. We have realized hot air leak at the compressor section. However unit's in service, output is not affected and insulation is on, so that we can`t figure the exact spot from where hot compressed air is coming off. GT is new, it has never been tapped off and it`s been running just for 1 year and some. Anybody had similar problem? Cause? Do we need to prepare ourselves for something big and time consuming? Any clue will be appreciated.
Thanks
