Shooting oil out of right side

[havoxx]

ok, so my 'shee started acting up on my last trip, it would work fine, but sometimes it would bog like hell.

 

Anyway, I bring it home, I check the plugs, the right side and left side both seem fine, that brownish color, but the right side is shooting out oil from the exhaust, while the left isn't, I'm new to 2-strokes, I know they smoke, but that's about it , is it supposed to be shooting out oil? Also, it smells like gas, like, a lot of it, it's never smelled like it so much, I am using Yamalube at a 40:1 ratio, and the b8es plugs. It's a completely stock 1987 banshee.

can you tell what kinda oil its shooting out? if its gear oil then you proly blew a crank seal. if its excess two stroke then sounds like carb issues, maybe the main fell out or something

[sheerider1026]

maybe you have a plug starting to foul?? can cause some extra unburnt oil in the pipes.. hard to say.. can you be more precise on where the oil is coming from?? the engine cases?? pipe?? clutch cover??

My bike did the same thing you blew a cranck seal and you could smell gas bad and it smoked like a freight train.

yeah ^^^^^

Check to see if your crankcase oil level is getting low.

Yea it looks like 2-stroke oil, the crank oil is clean as day, so I can't imagine it's that, idk much about 2-strokes, but the 4-strokes the crankcase oil gets black and smells like gas if there is a leak somewhere.

if it were 2 stroke oil then youd have to be overfueling a ton on that one side. switch the carbs around and if it still does it then id say shee ate a crank seal. my buddies did that last time we were out and im rebuilding it right now.

The crank is not lubricated with gear oil; the crank case compartment is isolated from the gear box. The cleanliness of the gear oil has nothing to do with whether or not the crank seal is blown.

 

If the crank seal is blown, you will definitely know it, for the smell is very distinguishable and it does not take much burned oil to produce an excessive amount of white smoke on the right side. In other words, you may not notice a major loss in the gear oil level, but the seal could still be unserviceable.
