No leaks are apparent and it made me think of the IC problems with leaks. I dread leaks into the engine, I will get the oil tested at Blackstone to rule that out.

Maybe I should take off the IMs and look for any signs, there are no signs of condensation or emulsion on the oil filler cap.

Anyone got some tips or hints?
I had the mysterious dissapearing coolent. It ended up being the intercooler under the supercharger. It was leaking and when the dealer removed the supercharger it looked like gaucamole dip. I had the oil checked by Blackstone several times/ By the third oil change there was no sign.
