So after a much needed spirited run in the super charged M3. I notice oil coming out of the dip stick bolt of the supercharger
I attached a photo. What do you guys think

Your crank case ventilation system is plugged is my guess. The other guess is a really bad one...and involves an engine tear down. Do an oil sample and see if you have high wear metals. Ring issue is a possibility...btdt

Yeah it's a closed system with the Vortech units.

Hmm which supercharger unit is this? Know on the vt3 thats the pressure vent screw, dipstick is on far left. If this one is set up different then its probally your brass washer that needs replacing. Might of gotten a bit worn out from checking levels alot or gotten some sand etc stuck under it.

Have you checked to see how much oil is still left in there? When's the last time the oil was changed? How much oil was drained out and how much was put in?
