I'd use a q-tip and some mineral spirits. If it isn't effecting anything just let it go...

Re: wga is clogged

i doubt a q tip will fit cuz its a small hole. i plan on using a mechanical boost controller which will need a hose to be connected to the actuator. thats y i need to get the oil buildup out of the wga nose.
