Procharged camaro ss leaking oil?
Hello!
Got my 2016 camaro ss with the p1sc pro charger. Noticed some oil leaking, mechanic said it was from this thing I got circled. Any idea what that is? Is that part of my Procharger or part of my engine. Thanks |

Thats water cooling going to oil cooler I think. Most likely is front crank seal. When you get any even a small crack in the piston ring land with boost it will blow out the front crank seal. A blow down test will reveal any problems with that. It should be the same on all cylinders mine was 5% on all but number 2 was at 22%. Tore it down and found a very small crack between the top and second ring. Took a fingernail and popped out a piece but it was enough to blow out that seal. The dead give away is when doing the blow down test is the air will come out the center of the oil air separator.
The pistons on this motor is weak. |

If your leak down test passes, I’d be on the lookout for detonation. Board member @toohighpsi did a nice job describing that here if you do a search.
