Sorry,dont mean to hijack your thread, would a D1 (non SC) do the same thing?
Ive been wanting a D1 blower and am trying to figure out which one is best.

Mine does this exact same thing. I had the car in the garage for a long time and I actually had some oil on the floor under the charger. Mine is a little older than yours though but I am not to worried about it just yet.

Really? How long have you had it and how much boost have you pushed through it?

As long as the blower doesn't run low on oil, there is no reason not to use it. Bob

I have had it now for 5 years or so. The most boost it has seen is 11psi. Most of its life was between 6-8psi though.

About 4 years ago, I heard a LOT of P1SC and DISC leak. Mine leaked after the first week and I still put around 40K miles on it without any issues. I have not had the blower on my car for about 4 years and working on putting it back on there some point this year.

Well I called ATI and it's still under warranty so I'm going to send it in. It will be seeing 15-20 psi so I want to make sure it is sound.

Bob, say it leaks again in a year, as long as I keep the oil up the right level I should be okay at say 18 lbs? Obviously you can't guarantee it, just a question.

Yes, as long as you keep oil in it you should not have any problems. Bob

My new F1 has a drip of oil show up on it every day, but I think it's from a leaking P/S hose that runs above the s/c (some food for thought).
