    After Run Oil Leak

    Yesterday I ran by Jato 3.3 2 tanks worth and then put after run engine oil in the piston and carb. because I wont be running it until next weekend. Today I got it out to get the tightness on all the screws and check some other things and there was a small amount (2-4 drops) of after run oil on the bottom part of the chasis one of which was on the flywheel. Is this normal or is something wrong with my engine, it ran fine and wheeled and everything, but is something wrong please help!

    Are you sure it is afterrun and not unburnt fuel that came out the pipe that you just didn't notice before?

    Well it is not by the pipe but right under the flywheel and there was even a drop or two on the flywheel its self. But could this have been fuel coming out of the pipe and getting there or a leak?

    sounds to me like the front bearing isnt sealing or maybe the fuel fell from the carb somehow and landed on the flywheel??
