After run drips out of engine...normal?
 

I just found a little puddle of oil under my plane, well actually found its been growing, and is a result of after run dripping from what looks like the bearing location, just behind the prop.

Is that normal?

Thanks.

If you have the plane/engine in a nose down position it is normal. You may also have exhaust residue/oil occasionally dripping from the muffler outlet.

I either store my planes horizontally or put an old rubber car floormat under the nose of the plane on the ones I hang nose down I also stick a piece of rolled up paper towel in the end of the muffler.

That's not uncommon. I have a few nice spots on the garage floor where my planes have dripped oil. I try to put pieces of paper towel in the muffler outlet but there is always a little than manages t come out from other areas.

It's gotta go somewhere, thats just the excess that didn't coat onto the inside of the motor. Same thing happens to my nitro cars sometimes.

The muffler is plugged, it's definitely not coming out of there.

The plane is stored horizontally on a rack. There is clearly red after run dripping from the front of the case.

Sounds like nothing to worry about though. Thanks.

Most front bearings are NOT "sealed", so it is perfectly normal for fuel or oil to drip out.
