Default Preventing Oil Leaks With a Blower On.

Anybody know how to prevent oil leaks with a supercharger on. So far all I got is replace the rear-main every time the trans. is out...about a catch can? Do they help at all?

i don't have a supercharger but have been reading a lot about it because i may put one on. it sounds like you need to address your crankcase ventilation somehow. there's tons of different ways that i've found people doing it with boost. but again i dont even have a supercharger yet.

Thanks for the reply, at least i can have hope. Nobody around here knows about it. Maybe the mechanic putting the blower on does. i just replaced all the gaskets and seals that are involved with taking the oil pan off. I don't want to have to do them again for a while. They are no easy fix.
