Need advice possible Head Gasket problem ?
Right after the Vortech install I noticed a oil spray sort of pattern behind the blower and covering the fuel pump and lines and fittings in this general area. Overnight a small drop quarter size light oil on floor.
Had it at the dealer today for an oil sensor replacement and asked him to try to locate the oil problem..He says could be the head gasket because he cleaned the area and saw some coolant drops after...My coolant temp holds steady at 200 deg into the rad and the overfill seems not to change. Had the S/C for approx 3500 miles. Any thoughts ideas suggestions would be greatly appreciated..
Forgot to add no coolant in the oil and no smoke out the tail.

Head gaskets rarely blow and discharge fluids outside of the block. They usually leak coolant into the oil passages inside the engine. Open up the overflow tank and look for oily water or drain your oil and look for coolant.
