Question Oil bubbling out of fill screw??

Hey guys, so i changed the blower oil in my procharger the other day, and i used a clear vacuum hose and attached it the bottle of oil and dumped it in that way...
i replaced the teflon washer and after i screwed the screw back in, i started the car and i was looking at the fill screw and noticed some oil bubbling out... it wasnt much, but is this normal??? this was my first time doing the blower oil, so i dont know what to expect... is it just air in the system and its bleeding out the air???
any help would be great! thanks.

It sounds like it is indeed air. This screw is also a vent. I'd keep an eye on the oil level to make sure the trapped air doesn't lower the level once it is dissipated. Bob
