    Exclamation OIL everywhere after Novi install

    Not sure what exactly I did wrong. I've installed a couple S-trims before this and didn't have this problem, hoping someone can shed some light.

    Here's the top of the blower, which feels dry as a bone:

    Here you can see oil collected on the underside of the hood:

    And here you can see the side of the valve cover coated:

    And the top of the charcoal canister:

    Note - oil is only on the front of the header primaries and front of plug wires:

    Any ideas? I've got the feed line pretty tight.

    Are you sure it is not the return line since I could not see oil above the supercharger other than the hood.

    do you have the vac hose going to the T-body blocked??? if not your blowing boost in valve covers and increasing crank case pressure, you may be blow oil out threw the valve covers gaskets

    I removed the oil drain (bottom of blower was dripping with oil) and checked it, put it back on. It's still leaking :(

    The tube from teh t-body is blocked, I knew I didn't want to blow boost into the VC.

    Fixed it! Turned out to be a bad drain fitting. Dry as a bone now :)
