Default Vaccum leak at supercharger

I replaced the O rings and they failed again. Soaked with oil. What is causing failure? Are there rings available from other than Jag?

Welcome to the forum knightenter. I know you're not exactly new, but 1st post so same same.

I moved your post out of the other thread so it will get some exposure.

I'm not sure which o-rings you mean exactly. At the intake elbow?

If you are talking about the seals at the supercharger bellows, they were redesigned to prevent them being sucked in and breaking the seal.
There are matching plates to hold them in place - you can't use the newer seals with the older plates.
There's a slot machined into the newer plates which should match a ridge in the newer seals.

In addition, the soaked with oil part is normal and from the part load breather ventilating the crank case.
