V2 SC leaks

Has anyone with a V2 experienced any oil leakage? I noticed i have oil marks around the blow off valve, so i pulled the filter and found oil residue everywhere. Obviously this is a bad thing, I'm having to the belt problems everyone has had and really want to fix this thing in one sweep. Any suggestions? I plan on changing the pulley and belt soon, ideas on the oil?

Maybe your SC bearings are going out on you. Chebosto has the same oil leak problem you're experiencing.

where can i get some tech info on this unit? If there's oil in there, there has to be seals somewhere, i would imagine they're just worn or something. I heard nothing but bad stuff about the V2 and now i see for myself. I'm going to contact stillen and see what they have to say.

You can contact Vortech about stuff like this. Oil does go into your SC, and bad seals and stuff will cause leaks. If your SC is still under warranty, Stillen might cover the costs to rebuild the blower.
