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.

i had the block and head shipped out to a builder who did all the precision work for me. the head and block were both decked and flat as could be. the builder also mated the head with the block. if the block or head was cracked would it be leaking from the crack itself?
