Oil leak with centri supercharger
So the other day I noticed by metco breather cap was leaking a very small amount of oil after WOT, and very stupidly I replaced it for a day with the stock oil filler cap. Today upon arriving home, I smelt that distinct burnt rubber smell and saw the large oil leak. My theory is that the crankcase had too much pressure under boost and burst the crank seal. Anyone able to concur with this? I have an appointment at my dealership tomorrow, but was looking for insight on what I’m getting into.
Only running 8.5 pounds of boost, and it was 1-2 short WOT pulls that did it, so I’m pretty confident nothing else is messed up. The area in red is where a large majority of the oil seems to have dripped from, but there’s also some very minuscule oil on some wires in the blue area, which is showed in the 2nd photo

put a ls3 seal in it this time around; yes it looks like your front seal folded inside out
better than the rear main seal tho.
