I changed my oil yesterday and found quite a bit of oil everywhere on the bottom. It looked like oil and I couldn't tell where it was coming from. I checked my p/s resevoir and found it practically empty. I assume that a p/s pressure line is probably leaking but it didn't look like p/s but engine oil. Anyway I took my air cleaner box out so I can inspect furter and found quite a bit of oil in the supercharger. What the hell is this? The p/s fluid that leaked out? I assume it's supposed to be nice and clean. I also found the lower hose that leaves the supercharger into this oil/radiator can with a black knob on it loose and looked like it was cut too short. I found an old cold air intake hose laying around and cut it to fit. I unscrewed that black knob that looks like a radiator can or oil can or whatever and it was empty. What is this? Is it supposed to be empty? There is also a little breather filter that was soaked. So this is what I sum up, My p/s hose was leaking and the breather sucked the oil into the s/c system and caused me to blow blue smoke every now and then just recently. Any ideas or advice would be highly appreciated.
I think you are referring to blow by. In that case you need to install a catch can.A catch can catches the oil and moisture in the blow-by gas that causes carbon and sludge build-up in an FI intake system and the engine. It keeps the engine clean even under hard driving conditions. With a FI car, there is more blow by oil which over time will "gunk" your intake with oil and residue.
Do a search for Catch Can and Blow by, it has been dicussed before.
No luck yet because I've had little feedback although I appreciate your docadam. I still don't know what that catch can is. Just been real busy and unable to call Paxton or anyone else. I'll keep you posted.
called them today as a matter of fact and they told me that the the oil in the charger was normal. I found this odd but they did install the unit Cody so I'll take their word. As for the radiator thing it's called an Air charged cooler. It takes water and redline water wetter. Mine is empty and it keeps the charger cool. Thanks for your help!

You need to install an oil catch can. That will help most of the blow by. Oil contamination derives from the positive crankcase ventilation valve common on most internal combustion engines where vacuum is pulled on the crankcase by the intake or in some cases the throttle body. This contamination occurs when oil vapors exit the crankcase via the PCV valve, enter the intake tract, and create adverse effects such as carbon build-up on valves, pistons, and plugs, as well as cause harmful detonation. Detonation in many cases causes the ECM/PCM to retard timing, thus creating a reduction in horsepower. Power adders such as turbos, blowers, or nitrous can benefit greatly due to the removal of oil contamination in the combustion process. Poor emissions could also be traced back to high levels of oil residue being burned in the combustion process.

This is what I carry.
Cody, kind of off topic, but why did u sell ur C6 Z?
Linear Mode
