This may be nothing but i just want to be certain. About a month ago i cleaned off the snout of the m90 charger on my gtp, and i just looked under the hood today again and i noticed a decent amount of grease right at the tip of the snout right at the pulley. Is this normal for the grease to be there. Did i just not notice it before because it was dirty? Or do i have a potential problem on my hands?
This a good question to ask on www.clubGP.com great site with a lot of information

the front shaft seal is leaking , the 1 behind the pulley
also there is a vent that is on the front of the pulley
the seal on my g/fs gtp seaps also
Yes, the seal is obviously leaking... So is the fluid overfull?
The vent itself is located in the center of the nut that holds on the pulley, at the very end of the snout.
Yeah ... I heard about this.
Youre going to need to go Turbo.
ASAP.
as far as i remember on eaton chargers, the snout seal has gone bad. i suggest getting it rebuilt.

the snout, not the blower to get the blower rebuilt for a snout leak would be stupid and non cost effective. i got a whole new blower for $75 on ebay. go that route, steal the snout off the new one, stick it on the old one. but dont go gettin a whole brank spankin new blower because the shout's leakin.
or, if you're feeling adventerous, get the rebuild kit from www.zzperformanc.com for like, $30
