oil leak on my maggie

[cyber g ss]

Just discovered an oil leak spitting out the back of the rear cog,anybody with simular issues.Looks and sounds like i,ll be down for a month according to magnuson.

How do you found it? Was it leaking all the way to the floor? Just wanted to check on mine.

Thanks

Hey guy,s i know there,s a lot of tvs 2300 out there and i was totally happy with mine until this.I was making 550 @ the wheels and setting up the fuel system for more.Magnuson has sent my shop a shipping lable,which i think is great but the problem is it seem,s like it,s going on a slow boat to china.I live in Canada and the driving season is short enough as it is without having to put your Camaro back under the knife on the first day of summer.Just looking for some feedback and perhap,s any ideas as to how this leak could happen. Thank,s

I discovered a line of what looked to be water along the back of the hood underneith,when i passed my finger,s on it ,it felt oilly or perhaps antifreeze wich i had origanally thought.

Thank,s johnny for the concern but it,s just another reason for better upgrades.

hmmm, interesting. Was just going through the pain of trying to find a clear pass through the firewall for my boost line and noticed a spot on the machined flat surface below belt that has some dirt attracted to it in what suspiciously looks like an oily moist spot.

Not a spray or really a big leak but just looks like a really light seepage that has some grunge sticking to it now.

Is that similar to what you've got or is yours a pure leak with splashing of stuff??

Lots of MagnaCharger's out there, I don't think its common.

I have the same light seepage with grunge, I always wondered if this was normal.

yep that is correct,except by the time i noticed it there was slight pooling on the manifold and oil sprayed on the back of the hood were the cog,s are.

You should pay particulare attention to the under part of the hood @ the cog,s if its leaking at all you will notice an oilly film.
