So I see it being said that this is for high boost applications...

I can tell you my 2.8 heats up and starts weeping along the front seal...

Is it possible to fit this?

Could I just tap a hole next to the fill hole for a fitting and put a small filter over it?

No that has nothing to do for heat. Are you sure the oil is from the supercharger? How much boost are you running?

8# and yes I'm sure.
It happens as the unit heats up and the pressure pushes oil past the front seal.
It's something I meant to open up and fix...
But it also seems like a way to bleed pressure from the unit would be helpful too. Don't temp's climb higher and faster under pressure?

So after a bit of reading it seems I'm on track.

Supercharger Rotor Shaft Seal Pressure Equalization - Patent application

I'll doubtfully see issues of boost pressure pushing air into the gear housing but could definitely see an issue of the heated and un-vented gear housing pushing oil into the rotor section or past the front seal to atmosphere.

So regardless of boost level, it looks like venting the gear housing in some way would be beneficial.

Anymore input on the subject?

Was this ever resolved or are you living with the oil leak?
