Default Anyone have any issues with Rear Main Seal leaking after supercharging

I just had a oil change and the dealer found that the rear main seal was leaking and I am wondering if anyone else who has supercharged their Mustangs developed this problem. But the dealer did say that warranty should cover it anyway.

I have some spray above the tranny. I was told by a mechanic that it's from a vent and it was nothing to worry about....

I have some wet areas on the lower left corner where the tranny meets the engine.

Well good news from the dealer it was not the rear main but the sending unit that is leaking.

The service rep told me that if it was a rear main that warranty would cover it....he said if there was any gray area that Ford would take care of it. But when the rotated my tires the dumb a$$ messed my my 110.00 knock off so I have to order a new one from Race Line but he said they would pay for it.

Here is a pic....some call them spinners.
The Knock off has allen screws that screw into the center hub the dealer did not loosen the spinner screw and used a hammer to take the spinner which striped the allen screws.
