Leaking Procharger....
If it aint one damn thing its another with this car lol. I took the headunit off to see if it was leaking oil and sure enough it is. I had it sitting on the tool box and it was steadily dripping out from behind the blower pulley seal. Has anyone else ran into this problem? I think this is my belt slip culprit. Does the head unit have to be sent back or what?

Dont know about procharger but A friend of mine has a 93 lightning with a vortech blower that needed to be overhauled. Instead of sending it to vortech, he went to a local bearing and seal specialist store and somehow got the bearings and seals to do a rebuild. Its been 3years and about 7k so far and its running good as new. You might think about this avenue first. My thoughts are If vortech can do it so can I with the same materials in hand. Finding the proper bearings and seals would be my only problem. I would dissassemble it and get the #'s off seals n bearings and start looking. If ya cant find them then its gonna have to go to the factory anyways, so whats the harm in trying? Good luck.

i think it is pretty common that the prochargers leak a drop or two over time. i know mine does and i have read that others do as well. you can fill these up when they are on the car. the problem i have with this is that the procharger is not sitting 100% vertical while mounted on the car so i don't know that the dip stick will read exactly where it should.
