Rear Main Oil Seal Leak Fixed
Anyone who has a supercharger and has a rear main oil seal leak should try this
------> There is a crank case ventilation hose on the forward facing valve cover, this hose connects to the 90 degree elbow in between the VSA actuator and the throttle body. Anyway the hose Comtech supplied is just barely long enough for the application, my hose was canked, or bent, where it goes into the elbow. I checked the inside of the hose and found thatit was dry. So basically all the crankcase pressure was being blown out the rear main oil sea, along with some of the oil :angry: .
Fix is to get a longer hose. Hope this helps.

You can either vent it to the air (put a breather on there) or feed it back into the intake (not the high-pressure side on boosted cars - you don't want to boost the crankcase!)
, scarry fast. Can't wait to get the fuel systme upgrades installed
