oil on supercharger?

So this is really random but i keep finding a few small puddles of oil on top of my blower. Seeing if anyone else has ever seen this? I wipe it away then notice it again later. There is no oil anywhere else and just have no clue where its coming from unless its like seeping out of the blower itself?

Well that is interesting. You'd think it would be in other areas to indicate where it's coming from. In for curiosities sake and to you getting a solution.

Thats odd, and not good. no problems with the valve cover gasket? what about the timing cover? the belt could be kicking up oil from the timing cover area? just spit balling here.

My car HAD the same issue when I had a crack in the dipstick tube . Check the tube for cracks, especially were it mounts up to the intake manifold , it usually cracks on top of the mount. Check if the tube has a bit of play, if it does then it means its cracked, cause it should have no movement .

Goodluck, and hope this is it.
