Thread: Whine - time to change SC oil? or too late?

When I replaced the belts on my Chevelle, the brand of belt I was using had a whine to it, so I was just saying the belt could be causing his whine. Then I got asked about my Chevelle and what not, but back on subject now. Sorry.

I checked the power steering fluid and it was full.

Looking closely at the super charger I see a gunky residue underneath the super charger. I'm going to bet over time I had a slow leak and now the oil level is low.

I just got off the phone with the dealer. Each 4oz bottle is $10. From what I've read, I need two of them.

I'll go to Harbor Freight tools to see if I can find a seringe with a tube to suck out the old oil (if there's any left).

I plan on trying this tonight. Not sure how bad the leak is... guess I'll find out!

Thanks for all your suggestions so far.
