FUEL Leak.. Not FPR

Ok, so as the title said i have a fuel leak, i did a search a couple of weeks ago and
saw that it was most likely the fuel pulsation damper, so i ordered and installed
that. I tested the fuel system again by grounding FP on the diagnostic box,
there is still a leak but not from the FPR, i looked from underneath the car and
the fuel is dripping from the lower wastegate actuator valve on the turbo (or at
least i think that is where it is what it is called)

double check the fuel system again, is only a few options in there, injector, banjo bolt, rails, hoses, start in one point and finish at the pulsation damper, hope you find the leak, engine fire is the worst that can happend to an FD

is this problem solved ?
I've got the same problem now.

The car was standing still for a week and it just start to leak fuel from the turbo !
I think a injector is stuck and leaking fuel in the rotor and that is leaking out the turbo.

Pulled the plugs out.

Turned the key and fuel sprayd out of the plug holes.

got it dry in a couple of runs.

I did not drive the car for weeks now.
