boost leak at butterfly shaft on tb?

I pressure tested my boost system, and heard a small leak from the shaft on the throttle linkage side. Is this common? Is it fixable, or is the tb trash?

Common. There are no seals on the throttle shaft. Unless the bore has been worn oblong, the leakage here should be inconsequencial.
