Re: Oil seepage??

When you say " water outlet tube" are you talking about the gear case or on top towards the power head. If it's down by the gear case it's most likely unburned fuel and oil. That's normal.

yep, need more info. is it dripping oil at or around the pee hole, upper exhaust outlet, or further down?

pee hole.....where the steady stream comes from, or upper exhaust, where it just spits water and smoke?
