Can I replace just the turbo wastegate? (1987, OM603)

Hi,

I have a 1987 300D, 3.0L, 6-cylinder turbo. It has the "KKK" brand (not Garrett) turbo, model K24, with air recirc valve. The wastegate (boost overpressure valve) appears to be leaking internally. It looks like it's just fastened to the main turbo housing by 3 bolts. Can I just replace this part, and if so, where can I buy it? Otherwise the turbo works fine, I don't want to replace the whole thing...

Help!
