I understand the intake air is in the front, but is the exhausted air on the top?

Yes, the air blows out the top of the unit. The exhaust vents are at the back half of the top of the unit. Air flow is quite good, too!

You'd have to take off your stock air cleaner and see what shape the intake is top left piece in pic is the piece that connects to your intake (round piece with ovalish raised piece)

That is normal the window is to see the oil level on the unit. Its a stamp to label the air port above it so your aware the unit needs to breath because the it vents from that aera

There is also a gasket that goes on the top. I would guess that is what your issue is.

The intake is at the bottom - a 1" by 2" area. In the main picture, it's on the lower right hand side (it's not easy to see).

you should use the fan for intake. if there is enough space for air to enter

fan blows outward through front, drawing air in from back across parts inside. whether air is blown in or drawn in - should be same amount of air cooling.

Air intake behind the filter, I have not yet instaled mine but ive gone over the diagram

Generally, air comes in from the front-bottom, and exits the back-top. The side should bring air in as well.If you pull air out of the case halfway along the airflow path, you kind of mess up the intended flow design for most cases.

Air flows from the front (label) to the back. Intake is from the corsair label.

No problem if you sit behind.. the hot airflow is towards front. Air intake is from side and hot air blows out from the front vents.

It sucks air in from the sides and blows it out the top. I keep mine about a foot from the wall.

The fan blows out Thursday the front at the top. I think there is just some type of filter built-in. I really like the unit.

There is only one air intake - the other end is the exhaust, (you would need a Y adapter if you wanted multiple intakes).

I installed an intake fan since my power supply has a 120mm fan that is providing the exhaust functionality. That setup seems to keep everything pretty cool (<40 C).

The air filter is on the top. If you are getting a clean the filter error code and the filter looks clean then yo might have the same problem I and many other owners of this product have had.

That gap is designed to let the air in to mix with the fuel. it is entirely normal. you may have to block it a little in extremely windy conditions.
