    Hey everyone, lately ive been noticing an unhealthy whine coming from the belt side of my car...i took a further look in to it and when i opened the supercharger cap (where you put the oil in) and instead of there being a clear liquid, it was almost full to the top with a yellow substance with a red tinge...looking in to my coolant reservoir, i saw that i had almost no coolant left (which was red by the way) which is weird, seeing as i just filled this up. I think that somehow the coolant has leaked through a seal in the supercharger and subsequently @#$%^& my car up...has anyone had a similar problem? If so, do you have tips on what parts i need to buy to repair this and any tips on the process itself would be appreciated.

    Thanks guys, lets all pray for yet another one of my Grand Prix's on life support.

    There is easily no way for the coolant and supercharger oil to mix. They never even get close.

    They have nothing to do with each other. You have a coolant leak somewhere, and your SC oil is in need of changing and possibly the SC coupler.
