Kinked 90 dgree supercharger oil return line!!!

I was changing my oil the other day and noticed my SC oil return line was leaking! Less then a year ago I had Illtech Auto Saloon rebuild and re-install my supercharger... After further diagnosis I noticed the line was kinked where it connects to the supercharger close to a 90 degree angle.. After taking it off the line, it was so kinked there was barley any space for oil to pass through!!! Were talking an inch to half inch oil return line almost completely closed... So far I am not sure what the long term damage is or even damage done now.. It seems to be running good but it sucks that I had to find out almost 8 months after running it from the time they finished the work!! Does anyone know possible damage that may have started or caused? It runs now but they messed up big time.. Any suggestions on how to handle this? Since nothing is officially broken I dont know what to do!!

Only issue people have experience assuming its a Vortech is seal leakage.

I use a braided steel 8 AN line with 45 degree hose end at supercharger drain line connection.

There are hardly any NW guys on here anymore, I would recommend posting about it in the local facebook group-- PNW INC
