I posted this in the Saleen forum but didn't get any replies, so I'll try here. I also left a message with Saleen on Monday and today. Hopefully I'll get a return call before gasoline vehicles become obsolete.

Wondering if anyone can shed some light on something. I've had my saleen SC on my 06 for a little over a week. I've noticed that my car has a little bit of oil smoke at startup out of the exhaust. I didn't think much of it, figured it's a PCV problem. Today I noticed my SC is making sometapping (like a steady clack clack clack) noises. Almost sounds like it's low on oil. When I received the kit, the plastic bag over the SC nose/pulley had an oil coating. At the time I figured it was just the way it was packaged.

Now that I put everything together (exhaust smoke, oil in package, noisy SC), I wonder if I'm leaking oil out of the SC, or maybe it's just low on oil. Is it normal for the SC to make noise, other than the whine it makes by nature? It didn't make that noise when I first installed it.

How do I check the oil on this thing?

Thanks for any help.

Didnt think that s/c had an oil feed, its a twin screw.

Well supposedly it has a self contained oil system. Something about an allen screw somewhere to check the level.

Well if it has a self contained oil system then i should have a way to check it. See if there is a dipstick or a refill or drain for the oil and check if there is any. Could be a seal and you dont want to have it burn out. I hope it is warrentied from saleen. Im surprised they havent called back. I would also call again tommorrow and get a person and ask them this. Also if you had it installed go there and talk with them or call them. Good luck
