NOS is on, running strong.. maybe new oil leak?

Lets hope its just my imagination.. But after a day of "testing" the Nos out for the first time... the next day there was about a silver dollars worth of oil under the car. Lets hope that the nos had nothing to do with it... but where should i start looking. I havent smelled any oil burning when i was under the hood.. and havent seen any smoke out the tail end..

just hope you you did not blow a head gasket.

What HP shot are you running?

Only ran a 75 shot.. nothing big.

Have you changed the oil lately? The plastic rings on the drain plugs are notorious for leaking. Check those first, they are easy to replace if they are the culprit.

Also make sure you have your oil filter tight. Everyone will tell you not to put it back on with an oil filter wrench but if you get just a small snugness, it will seal better. This is only if your leak is there... Mine leaked and it was due to the neoprene seals that they use now... It was a Mobil 1 filter so quality wasnt an issue.
just my two cents.

is the rear main seal leaking? this is also common on late model mustangs. find out where it is coming from.

The back of the intake is also a bad spot for leaks, check that as well.
