    While changing the engine oil and filter a couple weeks ago in my 2000 GTP, I found supercharger oil on the subframe in front on the harm. balancer right
    where the RF ABS sensor wire is located. I recognize it as supercharger oil because of the stank, lolls. Seeems to be just a few drops, but looks like airflow also spread
    the stinky stuff back a little too on the oil filter adapter and bolts. It def is NOT engine oil! It is supercharger oil! I checked the oil level in the
    supercharger and it still at proper level just below the treads of the fill plug. There are NO visible leaks of any kind anywhere around the supercharger, snout seal
    is dry, case seal is good, fillt plug dry, all seems just and proper, the only place I could think it would come from is the vent on the end of the pully shaft because it
    is directly above and in-line where the wetness was on the frame but cannot come up with a scenario as to why, or what conditions must exist for some
    oil to come out the vent plug at the end of the shaft.

    As of a few days ago, the frame is still dry as I cleaned up the mess of super. oil on the frame when I changed the oil.

    Any ideas as to how that super. oil ended up on the subframe ?
