Default Blower problem(bad bearing?)

1st off, im running the old side mount m-90.

the other day it started making a very faint moaning sound at idle and sounded fine under full and part throttle.

its been a couple days now and the sound has become louder. today i started hearing a slight grinding sound. the truck is now parked.
I tried calling magnacharger today but they were busy.
I am under the impression this is a bearing or something in the unit that has crapped out.
oh and one other thing i noticed a little excess oil in my intake manifold area and all the way to the blower, at the time i thought it was due to the pcv but now that i think about it, it could be related to this problem i guess.

any input? thanks guys

get it fixed quick before it comes apart and screws up the rotor pack. I bought mine with a bad bearing in it. The bearing had already come apart and I had to have a new rotor pack installed. I sent it to magnuson and had it back within a month.
