Default My supercharger is leaking a **** ton of oil?

So my car has stunk and been smoking for 2 days now and i just looked at my motor and there is oil all around where the nose to the supercharger is located?!?!?!? The problem is i'm about 10 mins away from my home! can i drive it home is it safe?!?!?!? I can either take all backrounds and just take her slow or go all highway and take her 55mph. Please help me thank you!

You grab a ratchet and a 15 mm socket and put it on the tensioner, then remove the belt.

Is it leaking near the pulley? If so, you probably need to replace the snout seal.
