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.

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.
