leaking G-Lader... with pics

[_leon_ 0]

OK, Much to my horror, I have noticed there is a slight oil leak/run from my supercharger. Its coming from the top left (when installed) under where the plastic cover sits over the charger's own belt - you can see this from the pics. Theres enough that seeped to run down the side - as also can be seen. On inspecting both pipes, they seemed relatively oil free - apart from the usual. Can anyone tell me whether something is up or what needs done pls??

Thanks

has the charger been serviced recently mate.

 

i have a bit of oil seeping from that exact place..im assuming its one of the seals gone ?

Looks like the end seal could be leaking. Just had the same leak with mine. When was it last serviced.

 

Get it down to G-werks

The end seal is passing some oil when cold ie very high pressure.

What oil are you using leon ?

it was serviced in December - about 6k miles ago at g-werks. i did an oil change 5k miles ago and used the synta silver semi synth that VAG sell. what is the best course of action now??

do you drive hard with a cold engine? the oil pressure is pretty high when cold

never above 3k before it hits 86C... but, it does get driven in cold mornings regularly
