boost leak from throttle body linkage connection

I have a minor leak from the throttle body @ the linkage connector. It threw a P0507, I checked boost leak and evap = good

when engine is run the idle slowly rises and/or falls slowly within a couple hundred RPMs over a 30second to 1 minute period.

please tell me I don't have to buy the whole throttle body.... Do I? bc I am not allowed a modified throttle body under NASA rules.

Throttle body shaft seals.

Highly common with the throttle bodies.

Check stm they carry them.

x2. Get "mil.spec" while your at it, stronger than OEM. Also, replacing throttle body shaft seals, with mil.spec, will not disqualify you under NASA rules

just replaced throttle cable couple months back which had slack from that rubber bushing failing- so it makes sense I would have more wear on the seals and linkage connector with the new cable. I don't disagree they are crap and wear out but just sayin domino effect.
