supercharger leak

[Dino]

For the life of me I cannot find that thread that talked about someone's supercharger leaking. Not sure if it was here or on the teamsc3 site. If anyone knows what was the outcome let me know, I beleive he took it back to the shop where he had installed, but I forgot what happened afterwards. Thanks in advanced.

I know of 2 people for sure but there have been a few others. I installed mine myself and a month later I see oil all over the garage floor. I call TRD and they give me nothing but trouble. I ended up having to take it to the local Toyota sevice dept. so they could call TRD and tell them my install was fine but the SC was leaking. Toyota Parts4U really helped me out and raised hell with the regional sales guy to get TRD in gear. After that TRD was kissing my butt. Go figure. If you had a dealer do it, just take it back, they should take care of you. I assume it wasn't just an oily dampness on the bottom of the SC nose (which is normal) but like you lost all the oil right? Good Luck.

Thanks Paul for the reply. Yes, there is a constant dripping leak; although it is not as bad as in your situation. The only reason I found it was a small pool of oil on the ground, but it isn't bad. I would say in about a week there is a small pool. However, I didn't realize that the oily dampness was normal, well learning something new. In any case I will be bringing it down just as a precautionary measure.
