Default RE: 30V2 engine

Of recent my V2 has been giveing me some problems. First the clutch which i got fixed. Now the engine is doing some weird stuff. some info: it leaks oil from everywhere it seems, not just the exhaust. the connection joints for the muffler where it connects to the engine all leak oil very bad. I cant tell if the head is leaking because i dont know if its comming from the engine-muffler connection or the head because its all stained. The ngine smooks alot which i consider normal. However I think its overheating. Reason is when I first crank it up untill about 5-10mins into flight the engine seems to run fine. Then it slowly looses power to a point where it will get light on the skids but can not take off. the Needle is about 4 to 4 1/2 turns out. If you need any more info i will do my best to provide it. thanks for any help.
Knowing the engine brand/size would help ...
