So it finally happened
Just when I think everything is starting to turn around and go my way BAM! I open my hood to find oil on the block under the bracket on the pulley side of the driveshaft, take a closer look oil leaking from the seal between the driveshaft and bracket the pulley attaches too.
Im not gonna cry about it cause I expected it to happen someday but my question is to replace that gasket can I just take off the bracket on that side of the driveshaft or do I have to take apart the whole charger unit to get to that area.
ANY help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Sucks because I was getting my tC Supercharger ready. Now with all these oil leaks and voided warranties it seems kind of pointless.

I don't know why you people keep calling them turds. They're selling a product. They let you know beforehand that any modding to their product or things like headers will void warranty...and then when you DO mod it you complain. If you disregard their rules (which you clearly know about before you even purchase the supercharger), you can't complain when they disregard the warranty.
You gotta pay to play.
That aftermarket mod warranty act has no bearing here because that act clearly states if the supplier/company discloses that moddding will disregard warranty, they are allowed to pull the warranty when you do so.

As I stated before I am taking full responsibility for what happened, I just neededto know if I had to take the whole thing apart or what. I looked last night and found the seal by the blower is leaking too so im gonna put my car down for awhile and fix it the right way, wrap the header, fab a heat shield, fix the seals then that should do the trick....hopefully
thanks for your imput guys its appreciated

outcrnru, my post was aimed at stu gotti who was calling trd and toyota/scion turds.
sorry if it seemed like i was bashing on you. good luck getting it taken care of. if you decide to keep the aftermarket header, get them ceramic coated by swain tech, and then if you wish, wrap them up. no need for a heat shield then.
i'm getting my stock headers ceramic coated soon :D

Call TRD if you don't believe it. They'll tell you.
Greenbox how's your S/C holding up so far? Did the FIPG work?
