    Here's the best picture I could get of the liquid I have sitting right behind the front valve cover and next to the supercharger.
    To me it looks like coolant. The coolant elbows went out on it last summer and were replaced and I know there was gonna be some coolant because of that but shouldn't it be gone now? There looks to be a decent amount of coolant standing. Could it be the supercharger gasket leaking? Any suggestions? All are welcome. It's a 2002 gtp with about 146k miles on it. I'm not sure if any of the gaskets were changed on it when I got it at 136k but I doubt it.

    take a paper towel, and mop some of the liquid up, see what it smells like, gas or oil?

    it looks like its wet around the injector, the grommet on the valve cover is shot as well, so id lean towards valve cover gaskets leaking.

    if you have deep puddles in the lim bolt valleys, thats the lim bolts leaking.

    I know where it's at but that's a little bit of a drive.
