Default Procharger Problem

Had unit installed a month ago.From the beginning,oil would seep up through
the dipstick opening.Changing the sealing gaskets on the dipstick did not help.
If you look at blower immediately after turning off the engine,you can see bubbles forming in the oil around the dipstick opening.
Any ideas?

On my LT1 blower cars you need to replace the cap on the oil filler tube with a breather type element. If you don't pressure builds and pushes oil out any opening it can find. I suspect this is what is happenng to you. Good luck.

I have a Procharger (3 months now) and all I get is a trace of oil film around the dipstick. Maybe you have an overfill situation? Have you contacted ATI?
