drive side oil seal failure. probably has a nick in it, not seated properly, or the spring came off it when building the motor, thatd be first port of call. too much 2 stroke could have the same symptoms, but after a re-build, my moneys on the oil seal. time to get the spanners out i"m afraid. :cry:
