That is something to be proud of! You voided his warranty probably for an oil leak unrelated to the supercharger.

Thumbs down

Was it leaking around the Valve cover??

I bet it was, as they are all having problems there.

If I was that guy I would be pissed and fight Ford.

The Jackson supercharger causes that leak. Didn't you know that?

You sure about that?? Where is the oil coming out??

My SVT Focus allready had the valve cover gasket replaced, and EVERY SVTF has had a leaky valve cover gasket.

I'd like to jump on the PISSED bandwagon... If oil was leaking out a hole in the oil pan left by an exiting connecting rod I could understand, but voiding his warranty on the spot without checking to see why it was leaking especially when there seems to be a Ford engineering problem is absolute bull****. I understand it wasn't your say, but thats just wrong!

Actually, if you screw up the PCV system during the install and pressurize the crankcase, you can cause an oil leak.

Yes. I bet if the Ford dealer would've installed it though it would've been warrantied.

So I'm guessing you took it out for a nice joy ride like most technicians, beat it up, then brought it back and voided his warranty for a supercharger?

Thats a classic, I'd be pissed
