after messing around with oil all over for 6 months now, im gonna fix the problem once and for all. i think im gonna change my crankcase seal. easy to do? Im good mechanically, can folow a manual good, and think things through. dont tell me teachers that. also, best site to buy the seal from? links anyone? what else could be causing all of the oil to be coming out the silencer and where the pipe/silencer connect?

Maple did u do the compression test yet?

Crank seals are nothing to do. but generally a failing crank seal spews a colored smoke (white i think)

another problem could be a exhaust leak at the jug if ur allowing cool air to get in there ur exhaust will cool too and cause drool.
