The wastegate is pre turbo so you can rule the turbo out.

Well bottom line is this.. there is only two ways coolant can get the wastegate. First is the HG and most likely, 2nd would be a cracked head...

You can check to make sure that your radiator doesn't have a small leak that may be spraying the dump tube. Just a guess...

That's what I'd check first.

the only way I think this is happening is because you have a tial mvr 44mm wastegate which is water cooled. so your water line to the wastegate is probably leaking
