I have this really weird oil leak coming from the back of my engine. I took it to the dealership today and they put dye UV dye into my oil to see where the lead is. What they told me is that it is coming from between my supercharger (intake manifold) and engine. I told them this is impossible because there is no oil line between the two. They proceeded to try to show me but I really couldn't see where they were talking about (the tech that was working on my car was already gone for the day). But then I noticed there was some oil on top of my intake manifold, on the right side, between 2 of the runners. It doesn't appear to be coming from the valve cover or anything because it is totally clean.

Also, it doesn't really leak oil very bad when I drive it. I can just smell it sometimes and especially after climbing a hill or something. The mechanic that took it for a spin after putting in the dye describe the leak as "massive" and said that my car lost about a liter of oil after about 10minutes of driving. So apparently, how hard you drive it affects the rate of leaking.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. My next step is to take off the intake manifold and get a better look at it.

Thanks in advance

 

Oil filter?

 

well just start replacing gaskets, they are cheap. then move on from there.

 

No it's higher than the oil filter.

I've alread replaces my fright axel seal twice, oil filter, oil pan gasket, valve cover gasket.

You guys don't think it could be a head gasket to you? My car drive fine.

 

It's most likely your oil breather tank. That's the black box above your oil filter, the same one that your PCV valve sits in. It has an O-ring that goes into the back of the engine. Mine was kinked after I careless ly put it back in during a rebuild. It didn't leak much, but just enough to be mysterious. Just so you know, it's a bitch to get at, but maybe not in your case with the supercharger.

Hope that helps
