if the s/c is fresh, then some leakage can occur. i know one guy that his s/c leaked out all the oil. mine however did not leak any. but it should stop with in a week or so what i have been told.

makes me think that i am empty to start with.

Also I was talking to some people about it and they said that it should be connected to the main oil supply... is this true or not???

s/c oil is different than engine oil.

perhaps they were talking about turbocharged situations.

Your supercharger is a sealed unit. I would not attempt to open it up to add oil. If you are really concerned, contact TRD.
As for your last question ......... no, your super charger is self contained. There is no external oiling with the TRD system.
