Procharged oil leak need help.

As title says. I threw a Procharger and been using a the Procharger canned tune for a month now. Last night when I did a pull a shit ton of white smoke came out the back. Pulled over and open good, oil was everywhere. Turn car back on looking for leak, could not find it. Started driving away and wasn’t losing oil, everything was good. Drove all the way home from Connecticut. Next day went and got oil, filled up. Did a quick 2 second pull, nothing. Car runs and drives fine. Did a prolonged pull of about 5 seconds and got into 4th gear, it started it again, hence the piks right now. Any info guys? Just base Procharger tune and 2 step spark plugs.

I’d bet on the front seal, pretty common when you go FI. Often times though it comes with orther damage potential ... you can start with the seal replacement on the crank and hope or have a reputable shop take look. I’m sure others with a lot of experience on the topic will chime in.

I've heard the same about the front seal with FI. If I'm not mistaken ls3 front seals fit and are better.

thats defintely a front crank seal. the LT1 front seal is super thin and doesnt like boost. the LS3 front crank seal is the better replacement. with that said you may have to go through and also add a vented breather for the crank case or a vented catch can. you generated enough pressure in there to blow the front seal out, the LS3 seal will hold the front down trapping that pressure and may blow something else out or generate more blow by.
