So this morning I decided to check my oil, I popped the bonnet and noticed something that wasn't there last time i checked.

There seems to be oil leaking between the blower and the air filter (not to mechanically minded)

I've attached a photo on this, my concern is where the leak is coming from worried it might be the charger leaking and knowing how much toyota will charge just has me biting my teeth, has anyone else had this problem?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Regards

Ive never noticed this problem myself,
It looks to be coming from the oile bypass line from your supercharcher.
i do know of other members that have installed a catch can in that vicinity when installing the K&N Air Intake.

Perhaps pull off the pipe and check that there is not a build up of old oil in it causing a blockage.

Pulle the pipes off to see if there's anything blocked or leaking, and nothing.

Cleaned outside the throttle body butterfly to the blower bit of dirt there. Couldn't find where the leak is, sigh..

On another story I was about to clean the throttle body through the break booster hose but didn't know if it was good for the charger.

have you done your recalls with Toyota ? I think this was one of them

Don't think this was part of the recall?
