And make sure you dip your hands in holy water and have a bilble by you when u start working on it.

On-topic: Like the other guy above, make sure the four head screws are securely tightened. Also check your head shim, the shim between your engine's sleeve and the cooling head, isn't damaged or cracked. Otherwise, it needs to be replaced. If it isn't there at all, you'll need to purchase one.

I had that problem yesterday actually, the copper ring/seal for my glow plug was bad, got cracked somehow, I just replaced the entire thing made sure it was tight, and all was well.

another reason is this...but ONLY if you are using traxxas glow plugs......
thers something on the traxxas forum that says they changed the glow plug gaskets. if its upside down then it will leak. i would give you a link but i got kicked off, so youll just have to do some researching
