RE: motor leaking
Could be your front bearing/bushing.
You can remove your motor.
Make sure your piston is at the bottom of the stroke.
Pull the glow plug.
Dump some fuel down the carb.
Seal your exhaust.
Put your finger over the carb.
Blow into the glow plug hole.
The idea is to pressurize the motor, and see where it is leaking from.

RE: motor leaking
check your screws on your pull start. you might need to take the pull start off and check the back plate screws if its not that it could be the gasket between the back plate and the engine case. get some buggy spray and clen your truck befor you work on it and it will be easier to see were its leaking from like anty said and AJ
