1998 GTP snout removal with coupler replacement - oil seapage

[Burgundyman]

I decided to service the supercharger by replacing the coupler and adding new oil. I believe the snout was leaking for some time. I bought the coupler from ZZP. I bought their kit which included a syringe and RTV (waterpump and thermostat). Everything went back together nicely. I tightened everything snug and then a quarter turn. In other words, all bolts are tight. Then the unthinkable, I noticed an oil film seeping from under snout. My question is this....Did I use the correct RTV? Should I have let it sit for 24 hours before pouring in oil? I will keep an eye on it. I do not feel like fussing with it again.

Any assistance is appreciated.

Did I mention that the engine sounds great again!

is the leak under the straight down bolt by any chance? mine leaked from there cause the gasket broke off under it, so i rtv'ed the bolt and sent it home, no more leak, how or why i dont know why it leaked from there.

I've sealed them up with just plain old red silicone before. I would double check to make sure that both surfaces are flat and even.

Yes, it appears to come from below the center bolt. The intake gasket did break off. I did not think it would cause an issue. Damn it!

I did scrape and lightly sand. Nothing is leaking from the sides or top.

You are suppose to use anerobic sealer for the snout to case seal.

[Burgundyman]

Can you suggest one? I used what zzp sent me, which I thought was odd.

[Fivefingerdeathpunch]

It's just this stuff, not sure what ZZP sends or gives.

I assume ZZP knew their stuff. Apparently not.

I just found image on Amazon to show you all what ZZP sends in their kit so that others do not have similar issues

i used black high heat rtv like 6 years ago. no leaks.

It shouldn't leak no matter what you put on there. Take it apart and do it again.

Do I let it sit for 24 hours before filling with SC oil?
