Default Leaking engine

Iv got a Hawk II w/ a Webra .32 engine on it that I bought used from a Hobbytown. Im reletively new to the RC world with just a little airplane flying experience, and Im a total noob at helis. Well anyhow, Im having difficulty setting the engine up correctly. It sounds good when its running and it doesnt have any noticable bogging with an air load, but that thing seems to spit more fuel out the tail pipe than it actually burns. I dont know if this is common with heli engines are not. It also seems to be dripping pretty steady from either the muffler connection or the bottom crankcase pan as well. Do you think its possible that the low or high end mixtures could be causing it to push more gas than its using? I havnt torn anything apart to investigate this yet since I dont know what Im looking for, but maybe you guys could throw some pointers my way.
