need help with paxton sn2000
My Paxton SN2000 seems to be blowing oil in my throttle body and intake. I removed the piping from the discharge on the supercharger and started the engine, and sure enough oil started to seep out. Has anyone had this happen? I am thinking there is a seal going bad.I would also like Paradise Wheels website if anyone has it. Thank you for any help.

Their website is www.paradisewheelsinc.com but they seem to be offline. Craig Conley (the guy that runs it) sells on eBay under the name Mrpaxtonman. I'll see if I can dig up his phone number.
Your problem is either the output shaft seal or the output shaft itself. But, in my experiences, most of the SN series blowers always leak some tranny fluid into the intake. We had 3 SNs in the family at one time and all but one leaked. I also have the exploded drawing of the SN series. They are a little tricky to take apart, but once you can see it, there is nothing to it. And you have to take it apart to replace the seal.

Thanks for the information. I took the blower unit off the car today, and after starting the engine, I noticed some oil in the air filter. My valve cover breathers join together and end up going into the filter to be ingested by the blower. I think the oil from the valve covers is working its way to the inlet of the blower. I do not like this set-up. I think I will just get some push in type valve cover breathers and be done with it. Anyway, I appreciate your help.
