Default Vortech Question

I have a Vortech V3 in my car and at every oil change, there's a drop of supercharger oil on the bottom of the supercharger bracket about to drop. It's not overfilled and everything is tight. It never hits my garage floor cuz the floor is clean and I'm wondering if this is normal or i need to have the gaskets replaced. Anyone else have this slow of leak from their V3?

It could be a small or slow leak, when you fill the supercharger with oil are you sure it all gets in there? Because maybe a lot isn't spilling out but its enough to group up and make a small drop. Just a thought.

Yeah, i use that bottle from vortech and it's basically spill proof. Past 2 or 3 oil changes, there's that 1 drop sitting there. Car sits in the garage most of the time and it never hits the floor. I've put on 9k miles in 2yrs since the supercharger install.

Then it may be leaking slowly, but that is still pretty slow if its just a drop and not constant leaking. I would give Vortech a call!
