ok before reading this.. you can call me dumb.. i think its just the engine oil cooler doing its job... just because theres no other pressure or filter to plug the hole its causing it to leak thru.. i could be horribly wrong though


so someone correct me.. and call me dumb if you must..

i turned the car over.. luckily i didnt have an oil filter on.. but its pissing coolant from the oil filter fitting... any ideas?? i thought i had broke a line and was gonna be pissed cause its nearly impossible to reach up under the supercharger where all the lines are but then i had my wife come out and its pushing it right out the lower parts of the basin.. not the shaft itself .. at least i dont think...

Coolant circulating to the head is entering the lubrication system because the head gasket is not properly seated or missing. You likely also see oil in the cooling system. TAKE OFF THE HEAD and fix the problem before the engine is destroyed.

i just replaced the head gasket round 2.. also used a copper sealant... its coming out in large amounts like there could be a line swapped?

Does the supercharger have a coolant line running to it?

yes... but the coolant lines are soo simple because i didnt change any lengths and they are all headed in the places they should be cause i double checked that... the only thing i could think would be theres an o ring or maybe the oil cooler sandwhich might be shot itself
