swaper 0 Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 I have recently installed a brand new V2 Vortech Supercharger on my VR6 2.8 12V. After 800 kms on the counter, i noticed oil leaking from a) the body of the S/C as well as from the air filter !!The Dutch company, where i bought the device, insists that this problem is due to excessive oil level... Has anyone any similar problem ??? Pls Help !!! Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 sounds like too much oil getting through from the breather, do you have a catch can installed from the breather at the top left of the cam cover?Oil from the charger housing itself is worrying. Is the clamp around the housing done up tight enough? Link to post Share on other sites
swaper 0 Posted December 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Thank u for your reply....The clamp is tight enough! According VR6 Specialists from Netherlands, the problem is due to high level of oil in the engine .... I have only installed the oil catch tank included in the kit.Nothing else ... do u have the crankcase ventilation "free" , or connected on the air intake??? Link to post Share on other sites
apd 0 Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 i have the crankcase ventilation to atmosphere on my v2.on investigating rumbling bearing that were changed the oil seal behind the impeller,it had cracked.the sc has done 60k miles.new bearing has made the engine made positive boost as soon as you blip the throttle(boost gauge reading).

swaper 0 Posted December 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 In my car , the crankcase ventilation is connected according the manual... I will let it free to atmosphere today as i am thinking that some kind of pressure causes the leak... I will let u know during the weekend... Did u change the oil seal by yourself ??? do u know the type of seal as i am about to get in one , just in case .... ??? Link to post Share on other sites

xyber 1 Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Another thought, take off the oil return pipe that runs down to the sump from the charger to check that is oil is draining away, it may be blocked/kinked or if the oil is too high, the bottom my be under the oil surface in the sump, stopping it from draining fast enough?
