oil leak

yellow95gt · 12-14-2007, 01:13 AM

i just had a vortech v2sq intstalled on my 95 after a week of driving it i noticed that it was leaking oil from the top of the return line also it sounds as if there is a bad bearing in it but i heard that with the sq that is normal

Is it new or used? I ran a brand new V-1 on a 95 I had and after about 4k miles it started getting louder than normal, almost like the bearing were going out, i sent it back to Vortech and they were in fact wearing out. The S/C are loud but better safe than sorry, maybe you could get someone to listen to it in your area that has some S/C expereiance.

its a brand new v2sq but my major concern is the oil leak

Is the line split or cracked, etc...? Have you visually inspected the line? See if it's leaking at the blower or the line.

Well it sounds like you need to take it off and inspect it closer.
