Leaking at wastegate actuator

Post by DTSJR »

Or whatever that shaft that comes out of the turbo and operates the wastegate is. Today I took the chimney off the turbo and seafoamed it again and I could see white smoke coming out from around that shaft. What should I do?
Im a little scared to take off the turbo completely. Its got 156k on it, and I dont know if its ever been rebuilt.

Just a little cloud each time I gave it gas.

Short of removing the turbo....I don't know there's much you can do.
