Default Black Oil

I have a Magnum XL 120AR 2stroke engine and after every flight my plane is covered of black oil from the exhaust.
Is this normal?
the engine has about 8 flights.

Aluminum to aluminum wear will cause black oil. Something loose, muffler? Put some of the black oil on your finger & in a light look for shiny particles. Some thing may be going kaput ! MAX H.

thanks big max 1935, I think you hit right in the head.
I just check my muffler and was a little loose.Hope this was the problem.
