let me start off by saying that i really have no time to work on my car these days. i have no CELs or oil lights coming on ever, and the car has been running like a charm in hot, cold, highway, city, and mixed driving. i drive it hard pretty often and haven't had ay issues at all. it is my daily driver

i noticed oil spray in the crossmember, on the pulley tensioner bracket, on the header heatshield, and on the top of the vtec solenoid bracket. there are never oil puddles or anything under where i park, and my oil level never dropped drastically (just the normal top up once a month or so), so i guess this is a slow but present oil spray from the oil feed and oil return lines. when i changed the old bracket system over to the new one, i never put teflon on the blue 90* fitting that screws in to the vtec solenoid bracket, so i'm assuming that's why there's a leak there. i'm also assuming i didnt tighten the oil feed line sufficiently, that's why theres a leak that looks like it's coming from there.

but i also noticed a black, opaque liquid that doesn't look like the oil around the oil feed lines, and is thicker. it's all over my bypass valve. i'm wondering if this is comptech filter oil that is blown back out through the bypass valve when i close the throttle, or if this is some other oil. this type of oil is ONLY on the bypass valve as far as i can tell.

there is no abnormal smoke coming out of my exhaust at all, and it always just smells rich of gasoline.

so are my hunches right, or do i need a supercharger rebuild?

thanks!

I have a similar issue with my car although I know my oil is coming out of the BOV only. Take your air filter assembly off and see if there is oil in there especially around the flange area of the blower. Mine has got oil pooling on it so I'm guessing I've got some bad seals even though I only have put 800 miles on it since the install.
