    Decided to go ahead and pull the supercharger off and the lower intake to replace the LIM gaskets and replace the lifters - glad I did. While there wasn't a lot, I did find some coolant/oil mixture in the oil valley. The LIM gasket was broken in two places just as shown in the how-to video posted above. Additionally, as I removed the lifters, I noticed they were extremely sticky and smelled somewhat of coolant. There were a couple small pools of oil/coolant mixture, and I didn't drop a single drop of coolant lifting the intake off, so that was there to begin with. There was hardly any coolant in the oil when I drained it, but there was some there. I have lifters coming tomorrow, so I will wash the lifter oil valley down with some synthetic oil, then I'll fill it up, reassemble, and hopefully won't have any leaks or ticking. I'll change the oil after a day or two again to be sure I get the crap out!
