*SIGH* What would you do?

How exactly would water get inside there? And again, how exactly would the thread poster have observed oil dripping from that hole if this were the case? That theory makes zero sense to me.
Regardless, it doesnt really matter. Bottom line, oil can and does get into the actuators from the compressor housings when the turbos leak oil.
How are you performing your pressure tests? Air compressor or mityvac?

Thru the opening where the rod passes into the actuator body.
If the actuator had a leak, then oily air would blow into that half of the actuator. Over time it will drain down and drip from the hole. The only way I would conclude that is if the outside of the actuator is dry.
It's not so much that I expect oil to drip out of the hole as I see a leaky actuator matching all the symptoms. Because there is a definite possibility the oil could have leaked from a coupler or something else above and is collecting on the actuator.
I agree.
Mityvac.

The shop that put on my exhaust did my NS conversion at the same time. During the NS conversion, the w/g was ported. I was told that the reason I am seeing "creep" was because of too much exhaust flow, but I am running a more restrictive exhaust than some people with the same setup (RB Duals). That's why I haven't really said/done anything about it, but I just DO NOT believe that too much exhaust flow was the problem.
I'll search for links to remove the pills, the turbos are pretty accesible, so I'm hoping it won't be too difficult... Thanks!
