Leaky Blower? Help!
I got the belt on guys - thank you!
I did notice a few days ago some oil on the bolt with the red circle around it. Wiped it away. Tonight, I noticed a bit more. When I blow on the bolt, more red oil comes out....any thoughts? it seems tight. This blower has less than 1,000 miles on it.
Also, where do I check the blower oil level? Novi 1500.

One plug is a vent, the other is a dip stick. Make sure they aren't loose
When you change the blower oil, only fill it about halfway instead of to the top of the checkered area on the dip stick and that should help
Nothing is wrong though, mine does the same

The one you circled is the vent. There is a small hole drilled through the side of it down in the recessed area that intersects with a hole drilled up from the bottom of the fitting. Mine seeps a bit of fluid as well, I just wipe it off whenever I'm doing anything under the hood. The fitting below it is the dipstick. Be careful, it is easy to strip the hex or break the head off (don't ask how I know). It only needs to be snug when you put it back in.

. I just stripped mine. Need to call ECS to get a new one?
