help! crankcase pressure and oil drainage
 
2 Attachment(s)
about half a year ago I upgraded my Vortech v3 into v2 unit. it turned out that Vortech sent me a defective unit and the impeller center shaft was popped out and it was not making full boost. Under warranty I sent the unit back. Just received the rebuilt unit back and installed it on the car. After a spirited driving session, the supercharger started dripping oil out of casing. Seems like the seal is leaking. Here is a video of it

I am suspecting excessive crankcase pressure is preventing oil to flow back in return line. I have a PCV check valve installed as well, so the boost is not pressurizing the crankcase. I have Crawford AOS installed as well with this setup, so now I am suspecting if that's the issue here. Do people have similar setup as mine and have similar issues? Thanks

No people do not have this issue. My buddy has v2 setup and he doesn't have any issues even on the racetrack. This is probably a bad vortech unit or overfill etc...

RMA it again!
