Mine was brand new. On the first start up it was leaking. Oil level was correct.

Sorry for the confusion, I meant the say the oil canister level compared to supercharger.. it should sit level or below the supercharger level to prevent leaks according to the Rotrex Technical handbook..

I believe @digital_assassin also mentioned this one of his earlier posts

It hasn't been mentioned that we are on top of this rare case, and new parts are already on the way to your door.

Both KW and JR says having the reservoir higher than the blower is a non-issue with the C30-94. It is an issue for the C8 and C15, but Rotrex just had it in the instructions as an added precaution.

and they also mention at the end

Nevertheless it is always best to position the supercharger above the canister and oil cooler to avoid any risk of leakage in case of wear or damage to the high speed spindle seal.

I will just position below the supercharger level just to be safe

I had my kw installed at Drift Office in Auburn. Bob is great and did my tune as well. If you need help give them a call.

Question on catch cans, which is more useful/likely to catch oil: 1) PCV or 2) Crankcase? Are they equally as likely to catch oil?

Not sure what you mean. PCV stands for positive crankcase ventilation so the hose off the back/passenger side of the motor is the PCV and the crankcase. If you only put a catch can on one of them, then make sure it is the PCV hose. If you don't run a vented can, then make sure you have a check valve in the line so that your can and crankcase don't get pressurized with the boost.

I guess I'm trying to understand what's the difference between going with one vs two of the cans being offered here: http://www.radiumauto.com/Catch-Can-...Z-86-P374.aspx

Looking at this bolt I shouldn't have an issue with the oil cooler. Then again I hope it doesn't fall off heh. Getting really excited to install this.
