Otherwise, the oil would build up until the compressor wheel starts splashing it, then it would get sucked into the engine and burn.
I took the square cover off the waste-gate diaphragm in my Garrett. The diaphragm is a rubber membrane and appeared fine. Perhaps others are steel (post 8). I expect the waste valve is a metal-metal seal (didn't open) and don't know if a seal on the rod (probably just a tight clearance).

I believe the aluminum and steel housings have bushings/sleeves pressed into them which don't come in the kits. Or at the very least, if the housings wear out, they have to be machined and sleeved.
The metal part I mentioned is a gasket for the wastegate cover plate. My mind has been foggy and in a sleep-deprived state.
