Question Possible enigne leak :/ Please help

Hey,

When i took my trophy 4.6 for the first time in 6 months i had struggled to get it started, it kept starting but then once glow plug igniter was taken out it would stall after a second or 2. After i finally got it running it was running good for the next 30 mins get getting a little hot but still with load of exhaust smoke. Any idea why this was?

The next day went to start it and was a bugger to start again but after i got it started i and reved it a bit a saw some smoke coming form the crack inbetween the pull start and the crankcase. Could the seal in there be broken? can i fix this and how?

Thanks alot
- Jamie

Change the glow plug and retune.
