Just when everything FINALLY seems to be working.... BAM!
The Procharger now has a bad seal, leaking oil quickly. I check the oil in the blower religously at least once every other weekend because it can void the warranty if you let it go on low oil. Last weekend I was coming home from a car cruise and the blower sounded a little different and smelled a little different when hot. I decided to check it out the next morning as I was home-bound for the rest of the night.
The next morning I made some new gaskets for the MAF. Imagine my surprise when I pulled the MAF and a section of the blower tubing off and I find oil!
I finished my work on the MAF and cleaned as much as I could.
I then started to work on the Procharger. I checked the oil, and it was WAY below the minimum line and BLACK! (It's supposed to be aqua blue) I did a complete oil change. (There was about 1/4 of the oil amount that should have been in there when I drained the old oil.)
I nursed it and checked it daily for 3 days.
The oil quickly disappeared from the blower, and by the end of the 3rd day, was once again below minimum.
So I now get to pull the blower this weekend and send it in for a bad seal and possible hosed components inside. So, it looks like she's garaged for another couple of weeks...
Thank goodness for a warranty and noticing the small stuff eh?
Think I should go ahead and get the 10 lb pulley?
