Strange oil leak- from turbo wastegate actuator?
Yes, the waste gate actuator on my 1982 300D is leaking oil! How is that possible? I took the car to the coin-op car wash and cleaned the engine real good. When I got home, there was oil on top of the engine damper shock mount. I put my fingers under the waste gate actuator, and they had oil on them. All of the other suspects in that area (turbo drain tube, air cleaner drain tube, etc) are clean and dry. Anyone else had this problem? I can't imagine how this could be possible, that oil would leak out of the waste gate actuator.....Rich
