Hey guys... pulled the power pipe off the blower... and near the impellers there was a little bit of oil... is this normal?

blower is used... off of a running car.. the car ran fine... I talked to a few people and they said a little oil on the impellers is normall.. and sometimes you may have a little near the inlet...?

I see a little oil build up when taking out the power pipe also.

My buddy with his T trim said it's normal... so I assume its just excess oil that doesnt get run down the return on the oil line...

so no biggy it looks like...

Time to bolt the blower on! [Smile]

I dont think there should be any oil but call vortech.

Just call vortech, It only cost around 300 for the rebuild, and just if your wondering no they wont sell you a rebuild kit, you have to send it to them, tried that one all ready. The guy about shit when I told him I took it apart..lol I had a little in play in the shaft and the seal was pinched so I just sent to them. Beware the tend to lag so dont count on the time frame they give you.
