Post Super Charger Gasket !

Has anyone had to change one of the gaskets that the super charger sits on ? I just added a cobalt addiction heat exchanger and i seem to be going through alittle bit of coolant sense i put it on yesturday. I DO NOT have any leaks anywhere's at all. I double checked all the connections and tried to tighten them. Everything was good. No coolant on the ground. And the super charger gasket isn't leaking on the outside. Could it be leaking internally pulling in coolant into the super chargers air ? Or are there any other seals and or gaskets some where in there ?

I checked my oil and it isn't milky at all and i don't seem to have any excess white smoke from my tail pipe and it smells normal.

Any thoughts ? I find it weord that i add a heat exchanger and now i need a new chargere gasket. The car has about 46,000 ish miles.

It sounds like you are maybe just bleeding off the air in the system.

Hhhhhhmmmmm....... I'm kinda confused then ! That makes sense what your sayin that the gasket has nothing to do with the antifreeze. I don't have a boost leak at all ! Could i be really still bleeding air after almost a full day ? Cause i know im not leaking it !

everything is fine. It just takes time for the air to bleed out of the system, after i put my h/e on i let the car run for 30mins and then kept filling it and watching the air come out of the IC Res. Then once i was driving everytime i stopped i would check it again.

Well, i have let my car idle for nearly 2 hours today . With the cap to stock filler neck off and i still seem to be getting little tiny bubbles off air at the top of the fluid. Really small bubles. But alot of them. The pump is flowing for sure !!! I just CAN NOT seem to bleed this system. When i put the cap back on and drive the car for a short run the level in the filler neck drops slightly. When i turn off the car and take the cap off the level rises again?? Is that normal ?? Please help. I have topped this thing off like 10 times !! I dont seem to be leaking onto the ground anywheres ! Maybe the motor is pulling in the antifreeze ?? But i cant see how at all !!! Any help would be great ! Thanks guys !

Bump for ANY help !!!!
