Help! Tmaxx oil leak
I have an old version tmaxx with a mip stinger pipe and boost bottle. I noticed today that smoke was coming from somewhere inside, so I took the body off and noticed some oil on the header. That was making the smoke. How did the oil get on the header? How can I fix this problem?

RE: Help! Tmaxx oil leak
Check the cooling head. Make sure it is not loose...
If that dont work.. take the head off and make sure the shim or the head itself or block is not damaged in any way.
BE SURE TO CLEAN THE AREA, cooling head and engine as best as possible BEFORE you take the head of.
And just to be on the safe side..... Make sure the exhaust gasket is sealing as well. Replace it when you do this to insure its good.
