Hey Guys,
We've been getting a ton of calls about this, so I thought I would post up some pictures and explainations. What you guys need to do to conduct a self check is, look at the snout and the base. If the base has blue sealant like this one did, you can almost guarantee its leaking. But if it has red sealant, its a better chance its not. But the snout or the casing will look damp or wet. The biggest misconception is that you will see oil if its leaking - that is not the case. After servicing as many of these superchargers as we have, we now recommend having these looked at if your car is exceeding 40k+ miles on the supercharger.
If you need / want your supercharger serviced, our services include:
Remove Supercharger (or you can ship it to us)
Disassemble Supercharger Rotating Assembly
Repack Rear Needle Bearings
Clean and re-coat supercharger screw journals
Inspect Screws, gears, & gear casing
Remove and inspect/clean the internal heat exchanger for leaks
Reassemble Supercharger and fill with new gear oil.
Inspect (replace if needed) boost bypass valve (new addition to our service)
Install New Spark Plugs
What happens when your supercharger runs out of oil (notice the blue sealant):
To make the forged pulley change colors like that requires some extreme heat!
