But I doubt the seal is the problem ! There's also a bushing pressed into the cartridge. Both (the bushing and shaft) wear out and the seal can't handle that much side (radial) play and start leaking.
I do not recommend messing with, unless you know what you're doing.

tell the whole story wiseman, i know its a educational one.

DO NOT TOUCH OR TAKE APART A TURBO ON A 870!$%$! electronic turbo sure, but not a air actuated one. your turbo is failing, they leak there when they start to get old and worn out.

I promise to tell everything in detail and what I've learned. In the meantime I suggest everyone to stick to your advice ! And thanks for everything you've done for me !
