I removed my wastegate actuator today, in order the cut it and make it adjustable. Pulled it off and set it on a shop towel and inspected y-hose set up for heat damage, when I went back the the actuator I noticed a small amount of oil leaking out of its vacuum connection. Is this normal? Will oil ruin the diaphragm inside? Should I just replace this with a new piece? And where should I look for the oil intrusion?
