I have 93' Cobra which I recently added a 9lb supercharger, and now I have a pretty significant oil leak that looks to be coming from the front seal of the lower intake. Anyone else had this problem, if so what is causing it? Any help will be greatly appreciated, before the tear down begins.
This type of thing is common even without a blower, ford recommends you use Blue RTV Silicone I would suggest that over the little rubber peices that you would get @ autozone or wherever when buying a new gasket kit, make a nice big fat beed from head to head & set the lower back on there carefully & you'll be fine again

You need some way to vent under boost, otherwise the pressure forces itself out through various engine seals. Either install a breather on the valve cover, or you can get a PCV from a turbo car(turbo coupes work well) and install that. They will allow venting under boost, but wont let any unmetered air into the engine.
