My Stillen blower blew up :(

So I just had the Stillen supercharger installed a couple weeks ago. I did a 1500 mile road trip from South Carolina to Texas and everything was great. I've been keeping an eye on the fluid making sure everything was good and making sure it was topped off and NOT overfilled.

Just this morning the supercharger whine seemed to be louder than normal, then this afternoon it got really loud and then grinding noises from hell! Sucky thing is that I'm kinda stuck in Texas for military training. Going to have to get the car trucked/shipped back to the Carolina's to get repaired

I never heard of a Stillen Vortech supercharger doing this before. I pulled the dipstick and this is what I saw:

Its usually a red/pink fluid right in the middle of the hash marks
