Another Oil Leak?

Post by RogueSSEi »

As I am getting ready to clean and inspect for one oil leak I discover another?
I popped my hood to do a quick inspect before jacking up the car and noticed that my supercharger belt is wet and has given a "rooster tail" effect on my entire undercarriage, the accessory drive belt appears to be dry but the supercharger belt is pretty wet with some fluid sling. I tried to look in behind my S/C pulley to see if the seal might be leaking but it's fairly dry. When I had got home this morning, I had parked my car for about an hour then moved it to my garage and noticed fluid (assuming it was coming from leak one), I dabbed my finger in it and it had the supercharger fluid smell, but wasn't really sure, it was clear fluid, kinda thought it might have been from my condenser. I didn't notice any slippage or belt noise. Iam going to go spray it down and run it for a bit. FML, Just my luck :sadeyz:

Pull the plug and check the SC oil level. You do not want it running dry.

Checked S/C oil and level is good. At the end of the pulley, the bolt holding the pulley, it had a mesh look to it like it was a screen? :dontknow:

That is a vent. If you have ever over filled the SC it will seep out.
