Status: offline 		I just completely put my engine back together and am sure i tightened everything. After about 10 minutes, I noticed oil on my exhaust pipe again. How did it get there. Is there a small hole in my fuel line or is it coming from my carb?

Status: offline 		is it on the pipe or on the header? if it is on the header, check your header gasket for a leak...

Status: offline 		Blow through it like you would a straw or just replace it. While you are at it you might as well check the fuel tank and fuel cap for air leaks. The cap has an o-ring under it that can be tightened. Some of the older fuel tanks also have a primer which is known for air leaks--I guess that is probably one reason Traxxas replaced it on the latter T-Maxx 2.5s.
