Diesel Turbo Wastegate shaft leaks
 

Mine leaks, I've seen one or two other members state that theirs leaks.

I thought I would start a thread on the topic so we can gather some information in a single spot.

I found this outfit that offers replacement/rebuild for the gassers, I wonder if they would do a run for our diesels if there was enough interest:

If anyone else has any ideas or resources, please share!

I have the same leak just starting.

Seems crazy to replace the entire turbo due to a failing seal at that actuator rod.

And the labor to replace the lower turbo is major
