My 2014 Corvette Stingray Z51 is dripping a good amount of oil from the air box on the passenger side of the engine compartment. The car has less than 1000 miles on it.




At just over 500 miles I had a ECS supercharger installed and that now has less than 500 miles on it.


Is there anything anyone can recommend? I've heard in other posts that this was also a problem on the C6's. I've looked at RX Performance's solutions but they don't fit well with the supercharger on the front of the engine.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

 

Welcome to the forum..

Are you using a oiled K&N type air filter? as that would be my first guess is an over oiled performance filter..
Are you seeing any engine oil usage?

 

The air filter is the higher performance type, but is dry. It seems that the source of the oil is the relocation of the dry sump vent and the driver's side PCV valve vent to the air box during the ECS supercharger install. RX notes that this gives them the ability to pull in unfiltered air. The RX Performance canister system relocates several of these tubes so the oil can be captured and returned to the engine.

I've got these on order but the mounting spot will not work due to the placement of the supercharger; however, I have contacted them and they are looking into creating a unique mounting bracket for use when a supercharger has been installed. I think that'll take care of everything...I hope. Because the holes drilled with the ECS installation are still there I had to order a new air box for the car .... over $200.yuck.
