Procharger leaking oil?
Procharger leaking oil? I went in to get my oil changed and the guy in the pit said I had some oil on the bottom of my procharger and he couldnt tell where it came from...Is this something to be concerned about?
Its normal to get a little seepage. If you have the vent hose connected to the bottom of the inlet hat a little oil will collect on the bottom and leak through since there is no seal where the volute attaches to the case. When you shut the car off when its hot there is also some pressure and a little oil will find its way out from inside as well. As long as its not leaving spots where you partk it or couting under the car I wouldnt worry about it too much, just check the oil in the blower once in a while and change it when you are supposed to.
I always take the oil I drained out and pour it back into the bottle I filled it with, if a lot is missing then worry about a leak

Put a short piece of rubber hose on the bottle & about a foot of aluminum tube on the hose & you can get the new oil in the top of the head unit with out any mess.
