My V2 blower is leaking oil uuuuggghhh !!!

So Delio comes over today with his cousin to install my new 3.25" pulley when we take the filter off the blower he see's a little oil which I never saw there before. So all in all it turns out that its probably one of the seals that are f*cked up and now I gotta send the blower back to Vortech and I will be out of a car for 2+ weeks which totally sucks.


p.s. It is still under warranty, but its still a pain in the @$$ to be out of a car

I think a little oil in the bottom of the blower after running it is normal, at least that's what my old mechanic said, he said a little tiny pool should be normal, but an excessive amount would mean a blown seal.

Most of the oil could be from the blow-by if you have your breather hose hooked up.

It might be normal in your mechanics eyes but I was told that the seals are bad on the internal part of the V2's so I am not going to take my chances on something worse happening so I am going to send it back to Vortech.
