Help! Supercharger coolant 'disappearing'

[brothmc]

The supercharger coolant reservoir occasionally will empty rapidly into the engine and come out of the tailpipes. Thought that it was a cracked supercharger intercooler and had that replaced but still occasionally 'missing' supercharger coolant. The empty sc coolant reservoir is also accompanied by a humming noise coming from the reservoir. Anybody ever had this problem??

reaaaally getting tired of the horrible smell after acceleration. Can somebody help me out?

your o-rings could be damage from the 2 tubes.

Same thing happened to me but my problem was the supercharger water pump when bad.

The humming is the intercooler pump running , I also think its something leaking in the coolant manifold for the blower , how low does it get ?

It would really be helpful if you guys would post up what caused and solved your problems... In THE SAME THREAD.

coolant

you had a tread back in oct with this problem,

i would say o-rings cause you changed intercooler,but it can still be intercooler,

was the cooler new or used?

did you do the work?

Yea, I bumped it because he never posted what he found, which is less than helpful to the rest of us.

I had to redo the thread sorry. I had the intercooler replaced (by a shop) so the coolant issue is resolved but now it loses power on WOT almost as if it is belt slip but it isnt. The steering wheel also shutters at 50 mph...intercooler was used but is the intercooler pump or sc water pump a common problem?

YES! As is the connector.

its the inter cooler under the blower, it has a crack in it. it happen to me 2 years ago

 

[brothmc]

finally resolved all issues. It is puzzling when there are simultaneous problems... replaced sc intercooler which resolved the coolant leak into engine. replaced intercooler water pump which had failed causing loss of power.. identified whine to be a/c compressor which did not affect anything.

I'm having this same issue; is it an easy fix. And where would I get the intercooler for the S/C? Mine literally is having this issue right now =[

all mine was was the 20 cent orings i used ac orings this time

 

[brothmc]

I got the intercooler from either a forum member or ebay - i cant remember. I hired a mechanic to replace the intercooler since i know nothing about working on superchargers lol - intercooler was around 300 and so was the labor

x2 when i got my car las month i had the same issue, i tought it was a cracked intercooler but it was the o rings, i replaced them with a new set, a bit thinker and put some grease to keep them lubricated.
