Default may have gotten robbed

bought a used procharger about a month or two ago and its been sitting in a plastic bin in my living room. just got everthing together for the install and i got to open the been and there is a **** ton of oil in the bottom of the bin.\
guy said it was rebuilt last spring but who knows with prochargers weak *** oil seals.
not sure where it is comming from hoping it is the front seal heard its easy to replace yourself with a 5 dollar napa seal.
got my fingers crossed.

Where there any other parts in the bin that would have contained oil? When you look at the charger, can you see where the oil may have been coming from?

Prochargers have a vent plug in the top of them, if the unit was stored with the plug down, then oil would run out it. It's probable fine. Install it and fill with oil like the instructions say and you should be ok.

yeah i just looked and the intercooler had oil comming out of it. the blower itself had no oil comming from it. i sat it on its own seems like all the oil from before the rebuild finially came out of the intercooler.
