@ScofieldTheGreat oh really? Okay I'll look into that. It might just be the supercharger though. I have 98K miles on it so it's about time for it to go out. I was driving yesterday and started hearing a constant belt squeal, but I didn't go into limp mode. Then noticed a huge puff of white smoke behind me. I had noticed some clattering sound coming the passenger side of the engine which is where all of the oil was. I think the seal on the SC is bad and I lost all of the SC oil.
