    hey, sorry if this is the wrong section, this is the s/c section so im sure you guys would know best. today i picked up a supercharger, LIM, and throttlebody of a gtp to do a topswap for my gt. I picked these up cheap so i dont have to pay the core charges at zzp. When i got home and took the box out of the trunk there was this blackish liquid pooling in the corner of the box, almost directly under the end of the snout or pulley. Is this supercharger oil? Its from a wrecker so i dunno how long its been sitting. Is this thing ok to send if for a core refund?? I mean how strict are they on accepting these things anyway?

    It was latenight when i saw it, it was dark so i didnt see a whole lot and just shoved it in the garage, i will take a closer look tomorow, kind of tired... thanks guys

    It's supercharger oil. It's probably fine. They will leak out the end of the snout if its tipped over and stuff all that's in the end is a breather.

    no. Then they would probably think it was ran with no oil.
