Default Leaking Procharger? Please help.

So my belt slipped slightly off the pulley and ripped part of the belt. Thankfully, I pulled off and opened the hood before more damage could ensue. But now I'm worried.
As I pulled a few pieces of the ripped belt off from around the pulley on the belt side of the supercharger, I noticed a small amount of supercharger oil splattered in the engine bay (from the belt). I looked more and found SC oil on the SC:

-on the belt side between the pulley and the housing (see pic with ripped belt)
-On the fill side seeping down the housing and inside the air filter (see photos)

The inside of the intercooler appeared clean when looking through the outlet. There is a rust colored fine dust stuck to the inside of my intake tube by the MAF (see photo), but no oil. I haven't pulled off the tube connecting the SC to the intercooler, but imagine there'll be oil in there.

Supercharger dipstick showed about 25-30% full. I'm new to FI. I've been trying to info and have been unsuccessful. What does this mean? Any help is appreciated.

air filter
ripped belt and oil between pulley and housing
oil seeping down housing
intake tube to manifold
intake tube to mainfold

So after more research I've read that shredding a belt puts more stress on the shaft bearings/seal. So I assume now I'm going to have to send it off to get rebuilt?

Probably took out a few seals. Can happen easily when belt comes apart.

Are these something I can replace myself?
