Vgt actuator at turbo leaking.

[mpowerstroketwins08]

Is there an easy way to fix this leak. I'm losing all my boost. I heard a pop yesterday and lost most of the boost. I have new turbos coming in a week or so. I am curious if there is a temporary fix so I can still run my truck without damaging anything.
It's leaking at the vgt actuator at the turbo

Looks like its pissing oil out of there too. The pop couldve been the turbo shaft....

I have noticed low oil levels. Also for a few months

Soap bubbles in the picture. Is that what you see?

Get that off the truck and looked at!!

If it is a shaft seal it can blow right out and run away.... think buying new engine....

Possibly, but your soap looks black. Try pulling the horseshoe off and checking the play in the turbo...

There is definitely black around that spot and on the fire wall
