well, theres the bad news.
there are NOT metal shavings in the first pic. i just nicked the edge with a screwdriver.

any ideas on what i need to replace?

Please forgive my ignorance, but what exactly wrong here? All i see is a bit of oil on the lip of the blower there. From what i've seen this is fairly normal. I've seen oil in the exact same spot in other pictures posted on S2ki too

Puddling oil in the supercharger is not normal, a light film maybe, but not puddles like that after just driving it for a day IMO. Every time I check mine it is bone dry on both sides. (My charger was also rebuilt 5K miles ago by Paxton for bad oil seals)

Yes, its normal if there's a bit of oil there. Not sure about the color though.

Yes. There are two possible origins of oil there. The first one is small seapage from the oil jacket around the bearing - no biggie. The second is from the front breather hose from the valve cover. That hose connects to the pipe between the air filter and the blower. You can get oil vapours pushing through that line.
