Default Ready to explode?

I've been experiencing some problems with my xtm .18. Every time I run it, oil sprays out of the space between the pipe and engine.
What's wrong?[]

try replacing the gasket, or just try tightening the manifold screws.

check for a leak, whether it be bad gasket or (somehow) a crack crankcase

Thats one thing I've been wondering about. I'm used to aircraft engines so my idea of gaskets are white cardboard looking things.
Now, on a car is the gasket that rubber thing on the back of the engine?

the gasket is the pice that goes inbetween the manifold and the engine, its like a cardboard material.

The XTM .18 doesn't have screws it has a spring the only thing I can think of is to replace the spring or the "red" thing called the gasket
