    Since i got the trans in the car and started driving it the intake and coolant elbows have had a slow coolant leak. I had been meaning to get around to it but have been busy. Well yesterday they started leaking BAD!! I already had the gaskets so today after work i decided to tear into it. Never had one of these cars apart cause i work in a dodge dealer. But i found a few issues when i took it apart. Supercharger gasket was ripped/blown and leaking, the o rings and gasket around the coolant ports were leaking aswell. Not sure how the car ran as good as it did. It had to have been burning coolant too.
