Here's why it's important to do the supercharger service... that unit has been dry for a long time

What a mess!

Glad you found the source of the failure. On my kid’s car the coolant and oil were still in the cavity, but now we know what it looks like once even that leaks out. Amazing your S/C and pump even functioned in that state.

How many miles are on your R53?

R53

Sounded like a old 12 valve Cummings lol still was pushing 10 pounds tho. Witch is unbelievable to my eyes. My mini has 115000 miles it's really clean so I'm suprised it never had that supercharger maintenance before
