If the engine started smoking blue and the the enginge has no problems, its the seals. Seals can also be damaged when some one slides them on in a rebuild. If you bought it on ebay, i see plenty of people take a stock wore out blower apart, put it right back together and say its rebuilt. A wore out blower is still a good start .I guess if its leaking out the front cover, it would be hard for you to monitor the oil level in the blower. Is this a street car?
I am thinking it is an old detroit blower with weiand end plates, it is a street setup that will see a little strip action, it started smoking a little, and now it seems it is getting worse, no problems with the engine, it runs great, I used a siphon pump and siphoned most of the gear oil out last night so i can take the front cover off, also this front plate did not have any type of breather on it, what should I look for, if you give me a email address I can email a pic of the blower.
