Oil in Actuators

Anyone have an idea why there would be some kind of oil in my Turbos actuators? When I took off my turbos and laid them down some oil started coming out of the actuators.

Last time I had a turboed car my actuators never had oil in them.

Its the Wastegate and Turbo Precontrol. Just thinking its odd.

Instead of a stright answer, look at the plumbing in section F of the FSM where it shows all the lines, valves etc. Look for the pressure flow side of the systems, and also where the turbo SUCKS air/etc from.

Let's see if you can figure it out on your own, blowby.

Probably a bad oil seal on your turbo, do you find oil in the charge pipe and IC? I used to find oil in wg and bov when the T04B went in my MX-6, it was bad to a point the car will boost at 7psi with a 5lb spring cause the wg was full of oil.
