S2000 Forced Induction S2000 Turbocharging and S2000 supercharging, for that extra kick.

Running super lean with Vortech? Now hesitation

It shouldn't take 10 seconds to diagnose after you pop the hood.

Most common thing is oil filter backing off but it would not last 30 minutes after you see smoke.

Second most common is the oil feed line to the supercharger and the fittings at the V-tec solenoid.

Third is oil cap not there.

There are many other odd reasons but check these first.

Look for spray pattern under the hood showing where it is comming from. Add oil to see how low you were. If you are down 3 or 4 quarts do not restart it and tow it to your mechanic. He needs to pull the pan and check the bearings. He also needs to bore scope the cylinders looking for damage.
If you are down 5 quarts do as above but plan on a new engine.

Yeah I'll see. Hard to see some areas cause the sc blocks my view. The highest up I saw the oil was around the oil feed line and where the oil pressure gauge was tapped so I am thinking that is the spot.

Sweet got some oil and started filling. Only took about 2 quarts to get it up to full again so it looks like I lucked out and wasn't leaking fast enough. Now to find where it's coming from.

Looks like I'm good. I see the connection to the oil pressure sender a 45 degree brass fitting seems to be leaking where it connects to a brass tee going to the sc oil feed line. Dripping pretty slowly it looks at least when idling so gonna pull the oil pressure sender put some new teflon tape and tighten that up good and hopefully will solve this issue and can get back to why I am running lean haha. Thanks for your help guys!

Does vapor come out of the front breather when you rev the motor up to 3-4k ?

Well I can't check that now. I have a small breather filter on there.
I thought it was just a leak but it turns out the fitting going into the block that goes to the oil pressure sender and oil feed line for the sc was cracked. it broke off completely as soon as I went to pull the oil pressure sender off. So I need to order a new adapter piece now to go into the block before I can do anything else.
I think I am going to get a Greddy sandwhich adapter or something like that so it won't rack again from the weight of the oil pressure sender.

Sounds like that was the problem, your lucky man! Stop driving that car until you get things squared away.

Yeah it's up on jack stands now till the Greddy oil filter block adapter comes in. That should do the trick and prevent this from happening again.
