Default Procharger Oil Leak

Just changed the oil in the blower and there's a little buildup on the bottom now. That was without starting it up. Is that normal? I'm thinking it might go away, I hope, after running it and heating it up a few times. It wasn't leaking when I took it off.

I can almost guarantee that it is coming from the dipstick. Replacing the gasket under the dipstick normally takes care of the problem. There is a new gasket taped to the top of the white boxes that ProCharger packs the 3 extra bottles of oil in. Bob
