For your Garret turbo-ed Powerstroke?

I've got some Genuine Internation Viton seals at work.
Free with one can of beer (aluminum, no glass).
I'll be at work Friday (Badger Truck- Rogers/HWY).

You should be able to buy a bag of 25 for $5 depending on size:thumbsup

They rarely leak at the pedestal, its not leaking from the
EBP valve is it? Looks like a wastegate rod sticking out the
bottom of the pedestal and points towards the pass side.

hard to tell def coming from the bottom of the turbo though so figure i should just do all the o-rings aslong as im there

guys on powerstroke.org said its very common for them to leak at the pedestal

Take a small mirror and some brake clean, minor seap will
come from the parting line between the turbo and the pedestal
or the rod to the EBP valve or coil.

Does your turbo bolt to the pedestal with two bolt strait down
into the pedestal or from bellow the pedestal up thru turbo?
Big difference in labor time to repair the upbolt style.
