## Discrepancy

OIL LEAKING FROM WASTEGATE ACTUATOR SHAFT.  R & R WASTEGATE WITH A SECOND O/H UNIT.  SECOND WASTEGATE ALSO LEAKED OUT THE ACTUATOR SHAFT.  CHECKED INSTALLATION AND FOUND IT TO BE INSTALLED IAW STC NR SA 762NW INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION 68-1, DATED MAY 1, 1979, AND DWG 68-10021.  REASEARCHED ORIGINAL INSTALL OF THIS ENGINE AND MFG WIDE CYLINDER FLANGE MM AND THERE IS NO REF TO ROUTING THE WASTEGATE VENT LINE BACK TO THE CRANKCASE.
