Cura is making cracks in the z seam? (infosec.pub)

So I've been noticing a few of my recent prints had some under extrusion around the z seam leaving indents that look like tearing. After basic troubleshooting I come to find that the issue is in the slicer. Could somone help me figure out what settings I need to change? Changing the z seam type doesn't really help, it just seems like cura is refusing to close the seam and would rather my prints have a fissor on them.

Preasure advance too high?

That or a wall wipe distance maybe? It's been ages since I've used cura though...

I've noticed that tuning pressure advance for each different filament makes a huge difference. The Prusa Minis I'm in charge of would leave huge gashes on seams until I tweaked pressure advance for that particular filament. Orca slicer has nice calibration tools for that.

Here's how it looks on a print auto focus wouldn't let me get a clear shot btw

If you've got a magnifying glass, your phone will be able to autofocus much closer if you put the magnifying glass between the camera and the object.
