Well many many moons ago i started my 5sfe build/supercharge project. It took me nearly a whole year and a half to finish the fully built 5s and get everything i've needed. About a month ago i started it up, ran it for about an hour before driving it checking for leaks and stuff and i had gotten nothing. I took it for it's first test drive and as soon as i pulled into my driveway i looked under only to find a large puddle of oil mixed with coolant a.k.a milky yellow substance. what a b!tch. the whole back of the block glistened and from my initial gander i had thought that i blew the headgasket (mls cometic gasket). it sat for a month again as i continued to work 50 hour weeks until this weekend...memorial day weekend when i went out to look at it and give it a second opinion. i took off the supercharger (which by the way was pushing 12 pounds of boost) off the car and ran it n/a for this test. from what i could now tell where the block and head are mated is no longer seeping, however, where the block and tranny are mated is where the oil/coolant is coming from. i removed the flywheel cover and could only barely catch a glimpse of what was going on as i was getting dripped on. ihave no clue where to go from here im taking anybodys advice and im willing to try anything. also i am not blowing anything out my exhaust and i can see no cracks in my head or my block. i also took it to a local mechanic for a second opinion he ran a test that said it had a leaky headgasket. i am just so confused right now and fed up with the celica i could scream....sorry for the riddiculously looooong post. thanks for reading.

rear main seal? i think. the one on your tranny side, obviously. i know that'll leak oil, but im not sure where the coolant could come from... could you have accidentally put the HG backwards?

i didn't think you could put the headgasket on backwards it look completely the same on both sides. the rear seal was replaced and is brand new so i think that rules that out. i can't find my BGB to look up anything arghhhh. thanks.
