Question Leaky EBPV actuator?

Anybody ever had or heard of this being a problem? I just recently noticed that the truck is slobbering oil out from under the turbo and the location it seems to be coming from is the actuator assembly for the EBPV. Could this be correct?

I believe after a while the Turbo Pedestal O-rings will wear and leak. i think there is an Oring kit for them. someone will chime in and give you more info on it.

An oil leak from the actuator rod seal is very common....almost everybody has it or will get it. Generally it is nothing more than a seep that congeals long before it hits the ground and requires no further action, but every once in a while someone will get a gusher.

Probably would need to find an International dealer for a pedestal seal kit....or just replace the pedestal since it has to come off to rebuild it anyways.
