I think my prochager is leaking... I noticed oil on the exit tube of the head unit. I just started a short time ago, I broke the dipstick seal for the first time since the oil was added, and the next day it started to leak.
Here is a pic... Let me know what you think.
Thanks!
I have thought I had a leak a few times.
It turns out that I can't help but over-oil the bejeezus out of my filter!
Your oil looks a little brown in the pic, but that could be from dust.
SC oil is greenish blue. Take the hose off and look in the discharge tube to see what color the oil is.
That's a good point... The filter is New it came with my WMS Powerpipe
I second the checking of the inside of the hose/tube. On another note I would also suggest shoving that hose all the way onto the blower and moving that clamp up. It looks like a split second from popping the hose off the outlet of the blower.

I've thought the same thing but since the oil level in my D1-SC stays constant I know its not a leaking seal and is instead from my filter. 20K blown miles and so far no leaks (yet). In fact I've had some bad blow-by issues that I think I've finally resolved but for a while my dipstick was an oil sprinkler that got on my filter and then got sucked through the blower.Quote:

That Sux...
I just put everything back together, and it looked ok. The oil was brownish, not at all like the S/C oil. I would of never guessed that my filter had that much oil in it. I need to check my plugs, wonder if their looking foul.
Thanks for the help...

You may need to clean your air meter too now.
I will be hitting the dyno this week, hope everything stays in one piece... I'll check the MAF too, thanks!
Sounds like you have it figured out, that's good to hear. Just make sure that you don't overfill your blower, seals go when that happens so be carefull.
