Question, Comptech S/C leaking???

sycosho · 25 January 2007

Even since I got the car from RyanITV, I noticed a streak of what seems like oil on the rear defrost glass (no engine cover) and the glass between the cabin and the engine bay.
It is a clear oil. First i thought there were some water around belt that kept splashing up but after a few hunder miles, it doesn't stop.
Could it be leaking from the bearing, maybe it's going out?

Thanks,
Sung

Depending on what type of blower you have and how much oil is leaking out onto the belt you *may* have a serious problem. However, a small amount of oil venting is typically ok. Unfortunately, I had the same symptoms except it was very servere and spraying lots of oil. It turned out to be a waranty-able issue, but it was somewhat complicated.

Be sure to check the oil level in the CTSC, but make sure you do NOT overfill it. Also, the oil will degrade the SC belt over time.

Talk to Comptech. It is the blower, you need to check the oil level. It uses 20W50 Redline and is almost clear in color. Check along the blower neck, especially under it, to see if it is weeping. This is not necessarily bad, you may just have to wipe it off occasionally.

HTH,

My Autorotor CTSC also has a slight oil seepage from the screw on the blower nose. I wipe it off every now and then, but the leak from my CTSC is nothing like SaberX's leak. Other than that, how's the car running?

Thanks for the info guys. The car is.... well, it's running.:smile:
I barely have a chance to drive it.

I just noticed a light spray just as described by several of you. Maybe it's just because I haven't cleaned the inner glass for a long time. Has this turned into a problem for anyone, or am I just being paranoid?

Zishan · 18 October 2007

On my 1st NSX that wasn't S/C'ed, I noticed the same thing. A very very light amount of oily residue on the rear window. It appeared to be behind the passenger side, kinda above the alternator.

I don't think it's the s/c, or at least in my case it wasn't.
Took it to a shop and they found some other hose or fitting that was slightly loose.
I still have some but not much as before.

Deltron Zero · 18 October 2007

thanks guys. i'll have SOS take a closer look at it next time i'm in there.

Funny, I saw this too in the last couple of hundred miles; freaked me out. A small squirt when I stepped on. I have been checking the oil level, not overfilled, in fact slightly below (maybe 1/10th) below the full line. Oil is only a few hundred miles old, in fact this started happening right after I changed the oil...

Called Shad, he said the same thing. Car will be parked for most of the winter, so won't have much of an opportunity to test it again.

If you keep the engine cover you won't notice oil on the glass:wink:
