I installed a new supercharger (the black one) along with the URD mods on my 2004 Tacoma this past February. Since then I have put approx. 10,000 miles on it.
One month ago, I noticed a small leak coming from somewhere around the nose drive area but I have been unable to pinpoint it. It doesn't appear to be coming out around the gasket where the nose drive assembly bolts to the supercharger body. I'm assuming it must be coming out from right behind the pulley.
I've searched and searched the threads about oil leaks but haven't found an answer as to exactly where these things usually leak. Is there a gasket or something else that can be replaced directly behind the pulley or ??
I'd really appreaciate any help. I know these things only hold 4 oz of oil and I need to get it fixed ASAP.
I'm assuming I'm still under my 1 year warranty (for installing it myself) but I'm not sure how TRD would handle it. I don't want to have to remove it and send it off somewhere if I don't have to. I'm hoping it will be easier to just deal with it myself.
I contacted TRDparts4u.com (where I purchased it from) and they said that TRD says it's normal. Leaking oil doesn't seem normal to me unless there's a mechanical means to continually replenish what's been lost.
Thanks again.
