Default ATI procharger............. Leaking oil.......... HELP!

O.K, after looking at the engine for a while I've noticed that my oil leak wasn't from the compressor but from my supercharger. Oil is coming out from somewhere between the pulley and the supercharger itself. In return, I'm experiencing MAJOR belt slippage and crap all underneath my hood.

Anyone who deals or dealt with ATI knows that their tech support isn't the greatest, so before I try and talk to them again, I'm asking for any help forum members may have to offer.

Charger has only 500 miles on it and motor has only 400. Oil starts to spray noticeably whenever the car revs higher than 4500.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Janaelen

Sorry Janaelen,
It sounds like a front seal on the head unit.
I would ask my question in the links below. There are some very experienced guys in those forum and they may have an answer or a suggestion.

A second forum with more info on super chargers is:
http://web.camaross.com/cgi-bin/foru...=10&LastLogin=

either forum is good on supercharging and will steer you in the right direction, although you may not like their answer to your problem.

Good Luck
