Symptoms........
Smokey exhaust, oily plug, when covering/blocking exhaust at tickover dosen't cut out (JL exhaust badly leaking anyhow) rev's didn't increase when draining gearbox oil but oil was frothy and light green in colour

certainly sounds like it!
What does the exhaust smell like?
White smoke from exhaust?

I haven't smelt the exhaust
Not white smoke but clouds of blue smoke.
I haven't put too much 2 stroke oil in mix either, before someone states this.
Gear box oil dosen't smell of petrol, but as I say light green in colour and frothy

generally if the D/S seal has gone, the smoke will be white and smell bleedin' awful.
Is the crankcase oil level dropping?

Not noticably, I usually put in 500ml. I drained it out into a seperate tub. When I get chance I will put this into old g/box oil bottle and see if if any has been lost
