    Today I decided to put in my 180 T-stat, when I lifted the wow did it stink it smelt like I had a pile of cow sh*t brewing. My s/c is leaking from somewhere in the area where the pulley is mounted. What could be the problem? It's not a small leak, by the looks of it I doubt there is any s/c oil left in it, I haven't driven the car since I noticed, but the damage my be done already. Any help would be appreciated.

    First question is what did you lift? Punctuation would be great so we could help you out correctly

    Use an alan head socket/wrench to check the level of the supercharger oil...there is a black circle style piece you can remove on the left side of the supercharger when you are standing in front of the car to see if there is still any fluids left. Try that first.

    Sorry about that, was just saying when i lifted the hood i smelt it. Is there just a seal that could be replaced or is the dealer going to tell me I need a new nose drive? I assume I shouldn't drive it at all until I get it fixed.

    You could just take the SC belt off until you know for sure.
