Whipple sells it. They also list a Ford and GM product in the install manual.

Just for the heck of it run your finger under the snout of your supercharger. Any oily residue?

From there web site...

the snout is a very common problem. if there is a problem be sure to contact whipple and they should take care of you.

thanks fellas. I got a GOOD IDEA what the snout is but just to make sure the snout is the part where the supercharger pulley is mounted to right. I havent checked yet but what would the problem be if there is some oil under ther snout? obvioulsy a leak somewhere but?

front most part of the snout near the pulley or where the snout connects to the main housing. more than likely towards the front...

Here is what it looks like when you have oil coming from the snout. I called whipple and sent them these pictures and they sent out a new snout for me.



And here is after I cleaned it all up, and waited to see if more oil was leaking (just to make sure before I contacted Whipple)

nothing to worry about, i think it was
only an issue with the earlier snouts
which had a slightly different front seal
design.
