      Leaking Snout

      Well guys after over 25,000 miles supercharged i have my first issue! installing a new blower cover today i noticed some oil under the hood that correlates with the belt line, i was like WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot??? so i was looking around thinking the crank seal was he culprit. NOPE! i looked at the snout and sure enough she was leaking fluid. put my fingers under the snout and sure enough there was fluid there, so i limped the car home after work and felt again and my hand was actually wet. so no more driving the ep3 for now, im ordering thehighspeedlab.com's Premium Snout Rebuilb kit and im going to do the rebuild by leaving the rotor pack in the car, but i will be removing the snout from the blower, keep your eyes out for a nifty DIY

      this might be a stupid question but, how many revs is the blower running?
      You less than 17K?
